I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chelgate (London, England) in May 2019
Interview
I applied online with a CV and cover letter via Work4MP Jobs. In less than two weeks, I was invited to interview at their office in London Bridge and arrived about 10 minutes early. I was interviewed by two members of senior staff and the interview lasted just over an hour. Overall, the interview was mainly informal and was more focused on my academic and work life. Within two days after the interview, I received an offer from Chelgate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview was relatively relaxed and took the form of a conversation rather than specific questions. However, the questions that were asked were pretty standard CV based interview questions, including:
- Tell me about yourself
- Why do you want to work here?
- What are your goals?
- Why do you want to work in public affairs?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Chelgate
