I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SGS (Ashby de la Zouch, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
After researching the interview questions on glassdoor, the interview was exactly as expected, nothing too difficult to answer but BEWARE. The position was advertised as Monday-Friday on the website. When I went to interview I was advised there would also be some weekend work so 2 out of 3 weeks you work 6 days a week... with no extra day off in the week. This was not as was advertised online so I assumed there must have been some confusion so emailed HR after the interview, who clarified the hours were just Monday-Friday. I was offered the job, handed my notice in at previous place of employment only for my SGS contract to come through to say it was not just Monday-Friday but also weekend work aswell. Very sneaky and not impressed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between precision and accuracy?
I had to fill out a long, detailed medical questionnaire before the interview. There were questions regarding medications taken for mental health. Even though I felt it was a risk, I decided to be open and disclose that I was taking medication. Even though it did not impair my ability to perform in the role, in the interview my disclosure led to several judgemental remarks.
short period between 30 minutes. mostly they ask about experience from previously (internship etc.) and some scenario questions. dress formal and be there early. otherwise, interviewers are friendly and explain everything in detailed.

Overall, the interview questions for this role were fairly simple, quick and short. They asked questions like what my biggest strengths and weaknesses were, and what skills I was looking to gain from this role.
