Onward Homes interview questions

Straightforward and friendly. Roughly 40 minutes. Questioned on the basics such as skills and experience. Got along well with the interviewers which helped my case. Having that social and communicable connection helped my case also.

I was invited to an assessment following my initial application. However, I don’t believe the assessment fairly reflected candidates’ skills and abilities. It mainly involved group activities where a few individuals scored us based on our interactions. Personally, I found this approach unproductive and quite distressing—it felt as though we were being assessed like children. Ironically, I was reprimanded for demonstrating strong knowledge relevant to the job and told I lacked team skills. I find it absurd that I’m expected to respect an opinion even when it’s clearly mistaken, and that simply being confident and well-informed made me come across as condescending. The whole experience was demotivating, and I have decided that I do not wish to apply for any further positions for this organisation.
