Behavioral Presentation

The first two rounds of interviews were really smooth and quick. The HR person from Rentokil gave me really clear instructions and info about their company, and also explained the job duties clearly. Then, I met the Customer Development Manager who was super friendly and listened to my ideas, plus shared his own experiences. For the second round, I was asked to prepare a 5-minute presentation on a business topic and present it to the Commercial Director. They were patient while I presented and gave me some helpful advice, so I actually enjoyed the interview experience.

The first step was a phone call with Shabana, who was really helpful and supportive throughout. Then, I had a face-to-face interview with Michelle Johnstone and Lee Mulholland. They were upfront about the job and gave a really good, detailed interview. After that, I spent a day shadowing Michelle, which was a great chance to see what the job is like and ask stuff. Later that same day, I had a final in-person interview with Graeme Davidson and Tricia Maguire. They were also open and honest about the position. Overall, the whole process felt fair and thorough.
