I applied online. I interviewed at British Council (Seoul) in Aug 2018
Interview
I applied online and had a phone interview about a week later with two academic managers of the young learner’s department.
I followed the STAR format for answering the questions.
I was told to wait no more than a week to hear back about my results.
The phone interview took just 45 minutes.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at British Council (Daressalam, ) in May 2018
Interview
I applied for the position in May 2018. I was shortlisted and invited for an Interview 10 July 2018. The interview was the standard interview process for the position. At the end of the interview, I asked what the timeline for feedback on the position would be. I was informed they were interviewing for the rest of the day and feedback would be given to candidates 10 working days following the interview. It has been almost 2 months since the interview. Despite a number of emails to the relevant people requesting any feedback. I have since heard nothing. In my opinion this shows a poor etiquette for a company that claims to value equal opportunity for Job application and interview processes. I have applied for a number of positions at the British Council as I have wanted to work for the British Council for some time. However after being ghosted after a rigid interview process, I no longer feel that I would like to work for a company that has these type of job application and interview practices.

I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at British Council (London, England) in Feb 2018
Interview
2 face to face interviews and a third remote/video interview, worst interview experience I have had. Unprofessional HR recruiter and general lack of communication in a process that took 5 months and at the end they didn't end up hiring anyone for the role and said they'll delay recruitment for the role until later on this year. Had to constantly chase the internal recruiter for updates.
Would never apply for a role here again, too much time and effort was invested for a company that had no intention of actually hiring.
