I interviewed at Immerse Education (Cambridge, England)
Interview
I submitted my CV and availability and had a short online interview with the recruiting person. Questions included things like what would you do if you thought you saw alcohol in a students room? What would you do if you lost a student on a day trip?
Happened over a Zoom call and the recruiter was formal and polite. Took about 20 minutes and was asked questions about safeguarding and other potential scenarios in which situational awareness would be needed if looking after a large group of students.

Question 1
Q: What would you do if a student got lost on a group trip? How would you reconvene with them?
Q: If a student reports something to you, how will you handle it?
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Immerse Education (London, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
The owner personally invited me to apply, despite it being clear that I did not have direct industry experience. He emphasised the urgency of the role and described the process as expedited, yet failed to respond in a timely manner. When I confirmed my interest in proceeding, he abruptly redirected me to a colleague—who never followed up.
Upon chasing, I was told they were prioritising candidates with specific industry experience. Interestingly, over a year later, the position remains unfilled.
When I later mentioned that -after an initial audit to see if I'd be a good match- I have some feedback on their marketing performance, he expressed strong interest in receiving it. However, after I shared the insights, I received no response.
