I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Anchor (London, England) in May 2026
Interview
The interview was conducted by two members of staff and followed a highly structured, competency-based format. Both interviewers read questions from prepared documents throughout the interview, with limited opportunity for a natural discussion about my background, previous Executive Assistant roles, or career achievements. While the panel was professional and courteous, I felt the format did not allow me to fully demonstrate the breadth of my experience or explore how my skills aligned with the role. Feedback was provided following the interview.
