Oxford, EnglandPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed online via Teams with two people from the institute.

They were genuinely friendly and warm, which surprised me, because I’d expected it to feel more intimidating. The session also felt well organised, and the questions seemed scripted.

What stood out was that the interview covered more than what was listed in the job description. Even with that added depth, it didn’t feel like they were trying to trip me up; it felt more like a planned assessment of how I’d handle the role based on their wider understanding of what mattered for the project.
