I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Nottingham, Inglaterra) in Jul 2021
Interview
Paper based exercise followed by interview with two interviewers. Interviewers were late and didn’t even apologise. Interview lasted around ten minutes, they were reading from a sheet of paper, no eye contact, no conversation. Hadn’t read my application (despite having it in front of them) as had no idea what I had currently been doing and asked questions that were at beginning of application and seemed pleasantly surprised at the answers. Very unfriendly and generally seemed like they’d made their mind up before I even got there. Emailed two days later saying I had been unsuccessful and saw job reposted on nhs jobs same day (the third time they’ve relisted the job).
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jun 2021
Interview
Applied online, received interview invitation about a week after closing date. About a week later had the interview for band 2 receptionist position held on Microsoft Teams with 2 panelists. Relatively relaxed, 5 questions, took about 20 minutes. Was asked follow up questions when answers didn't go far enough to address the question. Was informed a few days later that I wasn't first pick but that they'd keep me as a back up for 3 months.
