Applied online, and after about three weeks, I was invited to an interview. They auto-assigned me a slot. I was interviewed by a panel of two people. The process felt friendly and guided. They asked around 5 to 7 questions. Overall, I felt welcomed and respected.

Technical Case Behavioral
I did a standard interview for a finance role at NHS, it comprised of an assessment and an interview. The assessment is quite practical (using Excel). During an interview, the panel interviewers told me that not many interviewees (which they said 12 candidates) could do the excel test after I said I managed to complete most of it. I also explained about my skills and knowledge in accounting through working and qualifications which they said I am overqualified-I am ACCA part-qualified but the job requirement is AAT qualified. When they gave me the interview result, I asked for detailed feedback but they didn't gave me straightforward answers as if the recruitment is already planned for someone. Given I am of minority background and non-British national and there are some racial discrimination legal cases against the Trust, I assume they prefer someone coming from a certain background although I have a Right-to-Work in the UK.

The interview panel was made up of Clinical Trial Coordinators and an Administrator. I thought maybe a more senior person would be there, but it was an entry-level job so that makes sense. The interview was quite short, with about six questions. They started by going over the job description, like the salary and what the job involves, which was good. It was a pretty standard interview, but I felt they could have been more professional, as two people seemed a bit checked out. They said I'd hear back in a few days about the job or an offer.
Confirmed questions7 questions
- Can you introduce yourself and explain your interest in this position?
- Could you describe what you believe the responsibilities of a Clinical Trials Assistant entail?
- What steps would you take if a consultant was not responding to your urgent requests for information or clinical data?
