      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at NHS (Oxford, England) in Sep 2023

      Interview

      Easy, they give you 30 minutes alone with some questions, so you can write notes, and then they only ask you the questions on that sheet. After the interview they gave an in depth tour of the laboratory and described all of the machines and what they do. Finally all the questions I asked were answered in a very clear manner.
