After you apply online, they'll usually ask you to come in for an interview. It's typically a short one, under an hour, where you'll face a small panel made up of two senior staff members and a team manager. They'll go through a list of questions with you. Afterwards, they'll wrap things up, and you can expect a call either later that day or the next to let you know if they're offering you the position.

The interview was a virtual session on Microsoft Teams, and it involved a panel of two managers. They were really interested in hearing about my analytical skills, how I handle communicating with stakeholders, and my knowledge of data reporting, specifically in the public sector. It felt pretty formal and structured.

The interview itself was alright, but it quickly became apparent that this wouldn't be a workplace that offers much flexibility or support. In today's world, that's just not good enough anymore.
