I applied for the role online, quite a while later I get a text message to check my emails and when I did it said I have been shortlisted for an interview. I had to book in a slot which I did and then attended an interview at their head office in Birmingham a week later. I signed in at reception, waited for a while and as I was earlier than expected I was taken through to their busy office on the ground floor where people were chatting away amongst themselves and some of the women looked like they had lost the will to live. I was then given a few pieces of paper, a calculator and a scenario which I had 20 minutes to complete with all that noise going on around me. Once completed I was taken upstairs for an interview where 2 people interviewed me, they asked me many questions and as I have worked in this field before I was able to give real examples and had some knowledge of what they do which seemed to have impressed them a little judging by the looks on their faces. I was then asked all the usual cliche questions that you get asked in interviews followed by an opportunity to ask some of my own questions, the bombshell was then dropped on me that its actually a part time role of 20 hours per week which to be totally honest is nowhere near enough hours to live and its cover for maternity until November 2018. What sickened me the most is that about roughly 7 people have had an interview for the one job which wasn't told to me until I got to the interview, the bloke from HR should have told me this and I wouldn't have bothered turning up. I gave a very good interview and its shocking that I didn't get the job but then again when there is only one job going its clear which ethnicity usually gets it.
