For some roles, we may ask you to complete an assessment, but we'll let you know well in advance so that you have enough time to prepare.

Some Useful Tips on Remote Interviews

Interviewing remotely can be challenging, for many candidates, the situation can feel impersonal, due to the lack of eye-contact and ability to build rapport. However, considering and adopting some of the points below can help you to make a positive impression and, ultimately, succeed at this stage:

• Find a place where you will not be interrupted, lay your CV/ any notes out in front of you so you can refer to them quickly if you need to.
• Have a pen and paper in case you need to make a note of anything, such as the question being asked or something you think you might want to explore later.
• Answer the call with a smile! Smiling can help you to relax and, as a result, you will come across as more positive and friendly.
• Talk clearly and distinctly and think about your pace; if the interviewer is asking you to repeat yourself it might be because you are talking too fast.
• Try to connect with the interviewer in some way to build rapport. Consider what you might have in common and draw on this to create a dialogue
• Take time to consider your answer, if necessary, make it clear to the interviewer that this is what you are doing, rather than just going silent.
• Ask the interviewer to clarify what they are asking you if you are unsure or repeat the question back to them if you want confirmation - listening on the phone can be challenging and interviewers will be sensitive to this.
• Answer the question that was asked and be careful not to go off the point. Support your answers with real-life examples that you have prepared from previous experience.
