The interview process was pretty good. I first had an interview with HR, and then a second one with the director of the department I was applying to. I had nice chats with both of them, and they were super clear and honest with their answers when I asked stuff. But, since I was coming from a different industry, I decided to go back to my old field instead of pushing myself into something totally new.

The interview process was quite efficient. I had the chance to connect with both local colleagues and some based in the UK. The questions were mostly competency-based, focusing on my experience, how I handle stakeholder management, and my understanding of working with KPIs and Metrics. We also discussed the practicalities of being located in SA while the client is in the UK and how that would function within a team.

On m'a toujours dit qu'il fallait que je travaille deux fois plus que les autres dans ce pays. On me dit que je ne suis pas assez naturel, que je me présente bien mais que je suis trop préparé. Je pense que je suis juste professionnel dans le monde du travail, et de toute façon, on n'est pas totalement naturel dans le monde du travail. Oh pardon, dans le monde du taf, il faut être naturel. On me dit qu'il n'y a pas vraiment de raison, que j'ai fait un bon entretien. Même si tu es bon, rien n'est gagné, il faut avoir leur profil.
