I applied online. I interviewed at West Northamptonshire Council (Northampton, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
Friendly and smooth. I was received well and questions asked were very understandable. The interviewer recognised my anxiety and tried to calm me down stating it was only a process to assess my suitability for the role and nothing too serious. I was then able to relax and answer the questions asked.
