Completed a online application form. Then was asked to complete 2 online tests. The first one was a situational judgement test and the other was a general ability test. After a few days I got a call from HR telling me that I had passed the online tests and my cv matches what they are looking for. Therefore I would get a call from the hiring manager to arrange a face to face interview. Then for some reason, I few days later i get a email saying “After reviewing your CV and online assessments we felt that your skills and experience were not the best fit for this particular role. “ I never leave a bad review but this was actually a very poor attitude shown by Barclays.

Competency based questions and then a task to review some info and present your response. This role description had been very vague however I found out that it is a call centre job. I did well at the interview but didn’t actually want to work in a call centre so it wasn’t the right fit for me in the end. I would always recommend asking what a usual day is like for the position so you have more of an idea about what the job involves day to day and without the jargon that you can find in the job description.
