Groundwork Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Groundwork (Ipswich, England) in March 2017.

Interview

Telephone interview, face to face interview one week later.
The telephone interview followed an initial check on your background and then questions from a checklist of questions that were supplied previously. There was a calm and reassuring approach and plenty of time to answer questions.
The formal interview was with a panel of 3 and an observer from Change Agents.
I was given a topic previously to present and suggest some actions if I was successful in securing the job which I was asked to deliver initially. I was also given a list of questions to be asked 15 minutes before the interview and provided a quiet area to look at these.
The interview took approximately 40 minutes and consisted of 8 questions about my skills and experience and how to deal with situations with time for me to ask questions at the end.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Groundwork in September 2017.

Interview

The panel was lovely. It was a competency based interview. Questions were very relevant to the role. Know your stuff abd do your research. A good experience. I came second...so was dissapointed. However, they said they will keep me in mind for further roles, which is refreshing.
