J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez The King's Trust
Entretien
This was an internal vacancy, but the application system was exactly the same as external. It's a lengthy online application form. The most difficult section is "living the values' where you need to give examples of how you meet the organisation's values in your everyday life.
After being shortlisted I was invited to the interview. I was interviewed by 2 members of staff - the immediate line manager for the post and the senior head of programmes. It was a competency-based interview and the interviewers did not seek clarification if they wanted more information. The questions themselves were not tricky but the interviews had a very specific idea of what they were looking for.
I heard the next working day that I had been unsuccessful, and in fact that they had not appointed anyone and were opening up to external candidates.

Internal application: lengthy application. Includes values which the trust hope their staff will embody. Quick shortlisting process followed by email inviting me to interview with all the relevant info needed.
Interview itself was good! I really enjoyed it, questions were all situational, "tell me when you worked across functional boundaries" etc.
Induction process very clear and included when candidates could expect to hear back.
