I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Museum of London (London, England) in Jan 2024
Interview
The interview consisted of three staff members all relevant to the vacancy. They provided the questions on paper which helped. They explained the role well and encouraged a friendly atmosphere. The test was relevant. The tour was informative.

Interview
The interview process was straight forward, I appreciated having a small panel as larger panels can often feel overwhelming. The team was friendly, but I didn't feel very connected to them or as if they we're particularly warm or as engaging as others I have interviewed with. They clearly care a lot about their work which is great, but also seemed that it was a predominantly white team.

Interview
Poorest interview experience of my life - interviewer was openly disparaging of my current place of work and the potential line manager didn’t even introduce themselves.
Application process was straight forward and interview questions were example led. Took a while to get back to me after the interview, certainly longer than three weeks.
