I applied online. I interviewed at Newsquest Media Group in May 2026
Interview
I had a lovely interview, at the beginning was straight forward, flexible and simple.
However, when I got the text to say she had feedback I said i’d give her a call when I had a moment the next day, sadly I was involved a car crash - I let the recruiter know this and apologised for not getting back in the week and asked when she was free to get my feedback. This was 2 months ago, had no reply to that. I chased today and no reply as well.
Very disappointing to be truthful, I expected more professional communication.
The interview process was straightforward. A short interview, followed by a presentation and a very easy quiz. The interview was pleasant and in no way gruelling. My manager performed the interview and asked fair questions. Nothing was difficult to answer.

Question 1
Please describe how a database and front end application are connected.
Rather mediocre - I asked most of the questions and didn't get much back. The interviewer seemed really nice and friendly but maybe I expected more than just an awkward silence
