Very disappointing overall experience. Bored panel, not particularly friendly atmosphere. At the water, climate, biodiversity unit panel is drinking water from single use plastic bottles and offering water (not tap water) in plastic cups. I thought it was a test but it was real. I also paid 18euros to offset the carbon footprint for my flight to Paris and panel was uninterested. 1. No introduction asked, no friendly warmup chat. 2. Start with 5-7min presentation that was asked beforehand 3. Abstract question about presentation and points which are insignificant but is one of the panelists’ pet subject? 4. Why did I apply for the job? 5. Any challanges a colleague of mine faced in the past, what advice did i give? 6. How do i prioritise tasks? 7. How would i go about organising an event including getting people on board for presentations? 8. Questions to them
