Online first-stage interview with two interviewers. Asked me questions about both my experiences and own knowledge surrounding my own understanding of political landscape. Explained the role to me and answered all my questions. However at the end one of the interviewers was sat on her phone whilst I was asking my questions.
Initial 30-minute Teams interview, followed by written assessment (2nd stage), then a panel interview with senior team members (final stage). Staff members in interviews were always very personable and made sure the interviews were not a hostile environment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions around backbenchers/ who is up and coming in British politics at the moment and why.
Straight forward, questions as I would have expected, accommodating during covid to interview online. They expected subject matter expertise which is fair for this role as it is not entry level. Lasted about 30 minutes.
