      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Home Office in Jan 2026

      Interview

      Questions around behaviours and strengths. Friendly interviewers and clear questions. Using STAR helped me answer as it meant I presented my examples clearly for the markers. There were 3 people who interviewed me.

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Home Office

      Interview

      Awful interview. Quite possibly the worst interview I've ever had the displeasure of doing. Panel of 3 people. Main interviewer was extremely rude and patronising, and he made sarcastic comments throughout the interview. Asked me what my main skills were and when I responded, he said things like "Well let's see if you show that in the interview then". I was interrupted at least twice because I "hadn't understood the question" even though I was just starting to answer it. Main interviewer interrupted me and told me what I was trying to say and at one point blurted he'd "heard enough". The main interviewer also spoke over the other interviewer a few times. Visibly yawned during some answers. At the end when I asked one question he said "is that it? You don't have any more questions?". Feedback was somewhat OK, some valid points, but coincidentally marked me the lowest in the skill I said I had the most strength on. Overall, it felt like the interviewer didn't like me from the start, had no interest in what I had to say.
