How do you deal with people you don't get along with?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NHS England (Birmingham, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
It was a video interview rather than a F2F interview due to the pandemic. No difficult questions really, the usual ones asking what I knew about the role, my past experience etc. Didn't get the job as I don't have prior lab experience and the successful candidate did.
