Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell about a time you handled a difficult situation
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at NHS (Leeds, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
Quite a few stages. Started with basic application and eligibility questions, followed by a few online aptitude tests. Panel interview in January and assessment center in March. If you can pass the initial tests you are smart enough to do the scheme, the two following interviews are more about whether you fit the scheme from a personality perspective. I.e. Can you digest large amounts of info quickly and react to sudden changes; How good are you at working with and influencing others (don't be dominating/doormat); Do you have a can-do attitude (given the current state of the NHS, this is a must!)
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NHS (Stockton, East of England, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
Two stage interview including a panel interview. Full application to be completed including job history but also submission of a cv. Discussion as a one to one but also full interview panel including presentation
