I applied online. I interviewed at Cheshire East Council (Handforth, England) in Apr 2024
Interview
I was put at my ease by the 2 interviewers being very friendly and unofficious. It didn't feel threatening, as if they were interrogating me - more like they were drawing me out in an interesting chat. I didn't get the job because I wasn't really prepared properly.
