I had a first stage interview online and a second face to face interview. The questions were relatively simple and straightforward and I think I answered them well. However, I wasn’t given an offer but never got feedback as to why.
I applied online. I interviewed at Betfred (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
Had a quick phone call interview then got invited for an in person interview. Took around an hour and included an easy arithmetic test (simple addition and multiplication). Was basically told on the spot that I had the job but just had to find me a suitable location as they were hiring for multiple locations.
