I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at British Council (London, England) in Aug 2015
Interview
They mostly do one round interviews, sometimes a second round. They use competency based interviewing, meaning they are only interested in you describing things you have done, decisions you have made and how this demonstrates that you have a particular competency.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time you have managed a strategic partnership (internal or external). How did you influence that partner to benefit your company or project?
