I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Environment Agency in Sep 2024
Interview
Sent interview questions to prepare answers for. Interviewed with two external recruiters. From the point of application to finding out the result, it was a very long and drawn out process.

Question 1
Please provide an example of when you have used a range of communication styles to successfully convey complex information to an audience.
I interviewed at Environment Agency (Preston, North West England, England)
Interview
External company was used to provide interviews as big recruitment activity. Lack of representative from the Environment Agency made it feel like an odd process. Competency based questions plus a technical one as well.
