Cats Protection Cat Care Assistant interview questions

Approximately 2 weeks after submitting my application, I received an email inviting me to interview. This felt very relaxed and they were flexible with the interview date (I was away on the initial interview date). The interview was over Teams and I got a friendly, positive vibe from the manager and deputy. Interview lasted approximately 40 minutes with questions centering around my experience from my last job, my views on euthanasia and generic interview questions (working well as a team, solving problems etc). The following day, I received a phone call offering me the job, which I accepted. Following this, I was invited to an induction. No unpaid trial day was required (which I have had with similar jobs). The manager and deputy were also happy to answer any questions I had. Overall, the process was very straightforward and I look forward to starting at the Mansfield branch.

Not the greatest reception to be honest, I was not sure what to make of it, didn't make me feel too great. The staff were not very welcoming and they made me feel awkward. They did not seem to care.
