I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at British Council (São Paulo, ) in Nov 2020
Interview
I was interviewed by a panel (HR Manager, MKT Manager, Business Manager) and they were not friendly and demonstrated low orientation towards applicants/ people. The interview happened online and at times their connection was poor. Apart from the process taking long, they are not willing to interact (=update) the applicant either via LinkedIn or via their portal.
