      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Priory (Hemel Hempstead, England) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      Submitted an application and was contacted a week later and offered a telephone interview. The telephone interview was straight forward - was asked about myself and my experience and why i wanted the job. Was offered face to face interview at the end for the week after. The face to face interview lasted about 50 minutes and I was then shown around the hospital and was able to meet some of the patients. Interview process was simple and quick - however communication has been poor.
