The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts interview questions

Interview was awful. I arrived 30 mins early and I walked up to student services and let them know I had a job interview. The lady told me to take a seat and wait for some building escort person to arrive (because apparently the place is confusing and you could get lost. Anyway when that person arrived who was very nice to me she took me to the head office which was on the top floor and I then met the interviewer who was sarcastic and phoney and she gave me a something to drink. Then there was more waiting because someone was already getting interviewed. When that persons interview was over it was my turn and the phoney interviewer told me to come in. I was aware that this was a panel interview so I was extremely nervous. I walked into the room and there sitting was the cleaning manager who looked me up and down. They were both rude to me and they kept giving me awful eye contact.

Was met at the Reception area and escorted to a different building by a member of the panel. There was four people from different departments conducting the interview. Was sat down at a desk to a rather long, awkward silence after shaking hands with each member of the panel, expecting the interview to begin at once but it somehow didn't. Eventually got around to introducing myself and why I wanted to work with LIPA (this was the first question). The interview itself went very well in my opinion, the panel gave a lot of opportunity to discuss my skills and experience. However I wasn't best pleased with the attitude of some of the panel members, giving the impression that they would rather be in bed than in work that day. One particular member repeatedly rubbing his forehead and eyes like he was tired of hearing me deliver my answers. All in all, very rude and stoney-faced - something I really didn't expect of professionals at their level. I also did a skills-based test which included an exercise where I had to read a chapter out of a book and summarise it in 500 words.
