I applied online. I interviewed at Johnston Carmichael (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Interview
I submitted the application online and got an interview email a few days later. The first round was mainly a vibe check ,basic behavioural questions and “tell me about yourself” stuff. The HR seemed chill but was short on time since she arrived late. After that, I got an email inviting me to the Assessment Centre. It’s a standard AC, and they emphasise using the STAR method (which you should be doing anyway).
