Had some basic questions, then they sent me the details for a Google meeting. The time was wrong by an hour because they had it in GMT instead of British Summer Time. I joined an hour early just in case, and sure enough, they hadn't checked the time on the email. If I had gone at the time they said, I would have missed it.

It was a quick chat after I answered some initial questions. We just confirmed my availability for the shifts and verified I had the right to work. They mentioned they'd get back to us with an offer later that day. It wasn't stressful at all!
