      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Cancer Research UK (London, England) in May 2021

      Interview

      two-stage. quick telephone interview, and then if shortlisted - longer (virtual) interview. Feedback given was fairly generic and unhelpful. Felt like they were looking for a very specific person with a certain background and weren't open to other experiences and backgrounds.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      About CRUK and their strategy. What would you do ... example. International landscape?

      Interview

      One hour virtual interview with hiring manager and their supervisor; friendly, conversational tone; seven competency-based questions throughout; covered key experiences and skills in depth; overall structured yet relaxed experience. 

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Can you give us an example of a time when you had to communicate information to get different groups of people or different audiences talking about how you ensured your key points through your message had been understood, and what was the outcome?

      Interview

      Very interesting interview. A lot of the questions were basic competency questions around project management. They were also interested in my personal approach to wellness. I found the interview to be enjoyable and clear.
