Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you made an effective decision.
Recorded interview, four minutes to answer each behaviour question. How quickly the four minutes passed threw me and my first answer wasn’t great as a result. Practise your answers in four minutes beforehand
Online, 3 tests, launchpad interview. There were 2 behaviour and 3 strengths questions. I prepared using the information from the advert. I waited 3 months and was put on reserve list, then offered the job.
Very welcoming. Easy welcoming process and made to feel at ease and very comfortable. A memorable experience - now got to wait and see if I have got the job!
