The interview could be in person or over the phone. It was a pretty chill chat, with easy questions, and only took about 10 minutes. I had to bring my ID and proof of address. They let me know the interview results the next day, and then I just had to wait for the security checks to wrap up.

I've been through a lot of interviews but haven't been successful. I feel the panel hasn't been fair to me. Some of my colleagues have been picked and are now working in management.

I applied for 2 roles, one was an area security officer for the DWP and the other was just a security officer at a University. For the first one, a guy rang me and did a telephone interview which I passed and he answered all my questions. Then I was invited in for a face-to-face interview for corporate security with a very serious lady who kept questioning my commitment to the role. I got an email saying I had failed, not a call. She then rang me a few weeks later giving me a lousy excuse as to why she couldn't offer me the job. Next, I applied for another role which was again for corporate security at an educational establishment. The interviewer wasn't even told I was attending, so the interview was all over the place. He gave me the impression he was pleased with all my answers in the interview, but after ringing up to get the interview in the first place, I got another reply saying I had failed. I had to then chase up with their HR team who gave me loads of reasons, many of which were very judgmental and some just excuses. I gave up at this point with this company. I have since found work at a smaller company who conducted proper interviews, were less judgmental, and very helpful.
