The interview process was online, really fast, and efficient. I'm still waiting to hear back, but I'm sure they'll get in touch soon. You also need to fill out a form and give a reference.

The process was quick and easy, pretty informal and the manager was lovely. Since it's a volunteering role, the interview was mostly about availability. You have to fill out a form before the interview, which is where the questioning mostly happens, asking why you wanted to volunteer. The interview itself was mainly a confirmation. In some cases, they do have informal practical interviews if many people are applying at the same time, mostly students. Just do your best!
