Application

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Chiltern Railways (London, England) in Mar 2023

Interview

I was hired via a recruitment company. This involved sharing my CV and then having two rounds of interviews. The first stage was via Teams, with the second one being face-to-face. They were quite brief (c30 mins each) but within quick succession (less than a week in between).

Question 1

The questions were fairly basic and mostly around my CV and how my experience relates to the role. They wanted to know why I was interested in this particular role. They also gave an honest assessment of the team and the challenges/opportunities facing the company.
