Question 1
Tell us about your experience working in events management.
Why is the importance of political communication for a think tank?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Policy Connect
Interview
Typical 45 min interview with questions. Started off quite conversational and relaxed. Didn’t bother to even respond to give a formal rejection/explanation, just ghosted, highly disrespectful of the time and effort interviewees put into applying for a job - can be understandable at application stage, but interview stage is just lazy.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Policy Connect (London, England) in Oct 2021
Interview
It was a good experience overall. Interviewers were nice and it felt more like a conversation. the interview lasted about an hour and there was no prior assessment. the HR recruiters are very friendly and available to answer any questions prior to the interview.
