easy simple interview laid back and felt at ease, conversational style questions and friendly people to speak with, nothing technical or complicated standard interview questions and did not take too long
I applied online. I interviewed at Queen's University Belfast in Mar 2026
Interview
I had an online interview with a panel of 3 people. I had spent a lot of time researching and preparing and was really excited about the position, which I was more than qualified for. One of the panel members laughed at my name, told me she couldn’t take it seriously because of the image she had in her head. She did this when introducing herself at the start of the interview, and AGAIN towards the end of the interview. The other two interviewers (co-PIs on the project) were smirking and looking away from the screen. It really threw me off and made me incredibly nervous. I got rejected within 2 days. I am so angry and shocked at the level of unprofessionalism and immaturity shown by the panel.
Applied online.
Interview was with a 3 person panel.
Received a letter about a month after saying I passed the interview but there were currently no vacant posts. Not sure why I was invited for an interview if this was the case.
