I applied online. I interviewed at West Herts College in Mar 2026
Interview
It went smoothly, and the interviewers were nice. They gave a practical test on Excel, which lasted around 30 minutes, and then did the standard 3-panel interview where they asked questions.

Question 1
How would you handle a situation when, after you finish work, a student talks to you about their issues outside of college? What kind of advice would you give?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at West Herts College (Watford, East of England, England) in July 2020
Interview
I was invited to interview with a panel which included the department head, and completed theory minute a teaching demonstration with a full class of students. I was able to choose my teaching topic and prepare in advance.

Question 1
How will you teacher learners with different abilities?
It was a group of people interviewing me who all seemed very robotic. They asked me questions about aspects of the role not even mentioned in the job role and didn't do follow up questions and just read off a piece of paper. They did a short, easy test beforehand to see my English and maths skills.
