Interview
After an Online Application, I had a telephone interview which was nice and relaxed. General information about the job, asking what I thought the role entailed etc. Then basic competency questions and an idea of what my roles and responsibilities would be. I have been to the assessment centre previously which is a group case study, 1-1 interviews and everything you would expect of an assessment centre. But this time I did not progress.
