I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Jupiter Hotels (Manchester City Centre, England) in Sept 2015
Interview
The interview process is for the most part a gloss over of past experiences, and then a readout of atypical questions. Strengths, weaknesses, previous accomplishments and failures, and what you've taken from them. I genuinely winged my way through it like a buffoon but still got the job. It's more a question of meeting in person. However, there was a lot of consideration in that my employer gave me a chance when results in the interview weren't ideal. And for that, after a period of unemployment, I'm grateful. They really did take the human side of things into account, despite the robotic questionnaire.
