I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Writtle College
Interview
A two-step process that included a skills test followed by a panel interview online. Everything was very well organised and friendly. Overall an enjoyable experience. The response as to whether I got the job or not was within two weeks as promised.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What issues is the education industry currently facing at university level?
I applied online. I interviewed at Writtle College in Sept 2021
Interview
Excel test followed by a fairly standard interview with usual competency questions and a few HR ones including what do you know about safeguarding and equality.
Said they would get back to me within around a week - it’s been two months and still haven’t heard anything even after I followed up by email.
A ‘sorry no’ email would have been sufficient instead of leaving someone anxiously waiting!
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Writtle College (Chelmsford, England) in Nov 2020
Interview
Applied online, they emailed me 5 days after closing date. 3 working days before the interview.
I did a 10 minute presentation to 2 ladies. The interview was very professional, they told me about the job and college.
They were very good fair questions. Including “prevent” and “equality and diversity“ inline with OFSTED. I felt like I answered them well.
Here goes for the bad bit. At the end I was told it would go to second interviews. I waited and waited but I never got an email back. I’m fine not getting a second interview or offer. However, leaving someone hanging after they have taken time off and the time to create a presentation is disappointing and rude. A quick “thank you but no thank you” would have helped my anxiety after interviewing for a college they are passionate about working for.
