I applied online. I interviewed at Home Office (Birmingham, England) in Jun 2021
Interview
I had a video interview and it was very straightforward.. It was questions regarding competencies and hobbies. I got offered the job in June last year but I have not started as the security checks are taking a lot of time. Recruitment is very slow.

Online interview that was easy to use. The questions were based on the criteria on the job description so easy enough to plan for. Have to sit looking at the web camera the whole time. Would very much recommend watching the video on the role before applying
