Interview
Overview of council and job provided before presenting the requisite 10 minute (strictly enforced) presentation to be given. Standard questions asked but none on prior experience. If switching from private to public sector, think about motivation for job application. Time provided to ask own questions and anything else to add to application. Negative experience as no feedback received within reasonable time, especially having gone to trouble of providing a presentation.
