      Front Desk Receptionist Interview

      Sep 4, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Saint Albans, England
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NHS (Saint Albans, England) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      1 hour interview with lots of questions unrelated to the job. Ladies were nice but I found the process quite tiring. I have been to lots of interviews but this one I would always remember as ‘How to make fun of someone with lots of experience’.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Friendly but I found the questions to be pretty vague. The members of the interview panel were both extremely friendly and patient. So, Yes the overall interview was good and all answers should be in the form of examples. No conventional questions were asked. The interviewer did ask about the job description and duties that I would do.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at NHS

      Interview

      Was interviewed by a panel of people from the GP. One was distracted and did not pay attention to me, another one asked no questions. Was told that I would hear from them on a specific day only to be ghosted. At least have some decency to explain to candidates why they were unsuccessful.
