Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Environment Agency.
Technical Advisor
It was an internal opportunity with two interviewers who interviewed me face-to-face. They asked technical questions after I gave a short presentation about how I would improve and develop GIS tools to support the role.
- Technical question regarding the development of ARC GIS tools for the role.
Advisor
Communication before the interview was good, they confirmed the appointment and said to reach out if any issues. I was interviewed by 3 people, one mentioned being there for diversity. They took turns asking questions. There was a warm-up question and then 4 questions about the application competencies, which were different from the application questions. Sometimes they asked follow-up questions. I used the STARR format for my answers. I'd say the interview difficulty was average because I had lots of career examples that fit the competencies, any extra difficulty was just my nerves. They were fine with me looking at notes, which was helpful as I had some bullet points.
- Could you introduce yourself, talk about your interests, and explain your motivation for this role?
- Describe a situation where you juggled conflicting demands to achieve success. What was your approach to prioritization, and what obstacles did you encounter?
- How do you cultivate and sustain relationships with individuals essential for completing intricate projects?
Consultant
The interviewers seemed tired and logged on late. They appeared to be looking for specific keywords and answers instead of broader experience. I suspect the role went to an internal candidate because it was very EA specific.
- Tell me about your experience working on Natural Capital projects.
