Interview
The recruiting process was very long, about 3 months. I applied online. It took them 6 weeks to shortlist people. Then I received a call to schedule the interview. It was a panel interview with 3 managers. It felt very impersonal because they were just reading questions from their papers and taking notes. They were also inconsistent about the timeframe they would get back to me with an answer. Eventually, it took another 3 weeks to get an answer.

Question 1
Tell us about a situation with a difficult customer and how you handled it
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at British Council in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied early September and received an invite a month later. I was given just over a week to prep for the interview. I was also given a choice between phone or face to face interview, I chose face to face for obvious reasons. I was sent the BC behaviours document and as many people advised on here, I pretty much learnt it all.
With regards to the interview itself, the questions were pre-set. I had a panel of 3 who took turns to ask me questions. In total I had 6 questions and was given the opportunity at the end to add anything and to ask questions about the role.
The interview lasted 30 mins.

Interview
Telephone interview followed by F2F, both with a panel of 3 people. Competency based interview requiring examples of experience to provide evidence. General questions about project management - nothing surprising.
