Interview
Initially apply for the role through a recruitment agency. Attended the first stage interview (online video call) which I was so worried about but ended up being the opposite of what I expected!
I met with the manager who was really friendly, and I felt we got on very well within the interview and she gave me some great feedback and offered a second interview.
I waited a few days for the recruiter to confirm and she confirmed I would be going to the second stage. We went back and forth with a few dates, and the person I was meant to be seeing went on sabbatical.
It has now been more than 6 weeks since the first stage, and I’ve given up hope.
I’m really disappointed as I really related to the company ethos and values and feel I would have been a great fit.
The recruitment process and feedback times took a while and I was left high and dry

Interview
Spoke to the MD as first stage and he made me feel comfortable instantly. He was interested in my views and own ideas about the industry and innovation. This was great. He also gave me a true indication of the business and was very open, showing me recent sales and KPIs.
