Interview
The interview process was not too difficult and was based around a set of competency questions. Some of the questions were about the job I had previously, and others were about safety and company values. It was obvious the interviewers had conducted this type of interview before and they were friendly and forthcoming. I didn't feel intimidated at all, but I was challenged.
