I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Northwood (Sheffield, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
Applied via indeed, which was simple enough. Invited to interview via Indeed but not provided with a contact name or any further information other than interview location address.
Interviewer who I assume was the branch manager didn’t Introduce himself or the other team members who sat awkwardly working whilst my interview was carried out in the front office.
There didn’t seem to be any set interview questions and was mainly consisted of the interviewer complaining of the issues with their own systems and how difficult they were to use. Interviewer asked me how many days off I’d had in the last 6 months, I initially assumed he meant sickness absence but it seemed he meant in general i.e annual leave. Interviewer went on to complain about previous post holder who asked for time off too much at short notice.
Very strange experience. Still not sure if I was successful or not as I received one missed call from a mobile number who didn’t leave a message and then nothing further (assuming not successful). came out of the interview knowing I didn’t want the position.
