Midland HeartAs we reach the end of #BlackHistoryMonth, we wanted to share some of the activities that have taken place over this month as part of our celebrations. Shaped by colleagues across our organisation and members of Unity, our Race and Ethnicity Inclusion Network, our activities have included: • Career Development Workshops providing support to our Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority colleagues looking to progress in their career. • Hosting two Caribbean breakfast mornings at our East Midlands Hub and Booth Street offices. • Starting a food bank collection across our organisation, supporting foodbanks in our local communities, in line with ‘Giving something back’, one of the themes colleagues have chosen each year for Black History Month. • Sharing blogs from our colleagues, around topics such as the origin and importance of BHM, Black men’s mental health and wellbeing, and what it’s like to be a part of our Black Colleague Development Programme. • Celebrating music, art, culture and, of course, delicious food at our Black History Month Marketplace at our Bath Row office in Birmingham.

Midland Heart Interviews
Team Leader Interview
Anonymous Employee in Birmingham, EnglandNo OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult InterviewApplicationI applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Midland Heart (Birmingham, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
First interview was a role play including performance management with a member of staff and then advice from a phone call. Great experience, warm environment. Second interview (final stage) was a panel of three people, one of which was incredibly stand-offish, uninterested and rude. I'm not one for delving into energy, but the room felt toxic and the temperature raised. No guidance or clarification was given on the questions, of which there were four for the hour. After the second question I knew the job was not mine for the taking as they repeatedly mentioned they have a specific 'picture' in mind of who they want for this job. Never been in an interview that I felt the interviewers piercing negativity. Have been told by past employees that it is one of the most negative places to work, and they couldn't be paid enough to go back. But after my first interview I felt so positively, shame! Wish I would've called it quits after the second question as it was a waste of time. Application process good otherwise and the other staff members are friendly. Email sent as soon as I walked out of the building letting them know I have no intention of continuing with the process.Interview1) Why are you leaving your current role & what can you bring to this role? 2) How can you manage the deliverables? 3) What do you think the challenges will be in this role and how will you approach them? 4) How do you ensure your staff are prepared for their workload? (something similar to that)
