I applied online. I interviewed at The Alchemist (UK) (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
The interview was disappointingly brief and felt impersonal. The interviewer’s body language was closed off, no smile, minimal eye contact, and I could sense from his expression that he had already dismissed me.
Hiring event for new venue - no formal interview took place, but there are a couple of short talks on the company values followed by opportunities to talk to various head office representatives about which aspect of the venue would be the best fit for you.
