      I first applied online and was informed to take the interview after 3 weeks of the closing date of the role. The interview lasted about an hour. I was interviewed by three local staff: the head of the team, a manager from another team and the HR. All core questions are related to your previous working experience and the duties of the role. You'll need to give examples to demostrate how you meet the requirements of the role. The interview was followed by a language skill test and the background check process.
