I had multiple interviews with the NHS and they all gave terrible interviews.
In my first interview, I had to demonstrate my ability to alphabetise by surname. However, I wasn't given the list of surnames I needed to alphabetise as the interviewer had forgotten to give me the sheet that they were on. When I attempted to pointed this out, I was repeatedly told that I couldn't talk during the task, despite me making it clear that they hadn't given me the necessary documents to complete the tasks. I decided to alphabetise the names of the authors of some books that were on the shelf instead, since this would demonstrate my ability to alphabetise. Once my time was up, the interviewer finally listened to me, but still chose to fail me for not knowing the names that were on the sheet he had forgotten to provide.
The other interviews were consistently poor, full of stupid questions like 'Why are manhole covers round?' 'If you could be any animal, what would you be?'. While oddball questions like this do occasionally occur, the NHS chooses to make these the bulk of their interview questions.
In my final interview with the NHS, I didn't have any of these questions. However, the interviewers had absurd expectations and created an awkward atmosphere from the off, making it clear that they would be terrible people to work for. They spent the first five minutes complaining that I hadn't called the number in the job ad to ask them questions the day after I applied. However, the job ad did not ask anybody to do this. If this was so important to them, they should have requested this in the ad. Towards the end of the interview, they wanted me to cite a paragraph from their job ad. However, the NHS are generally slow to offer interviews and, with this being over the Christmas period, about 6 weeks had passed between the date I applied for the job and the interview. The job description had also been deleted prior to me being offered the interview.
Despite this, the interviewers expected me to remember the entirety of a job description word for word that I hadn't read for six weeks. Sadly for them, they lacked the ability to comprehend why this was not a realistic expectation.
