It was a series of small and medium length answered questions that mainly was about practical experience skills and interest in this area. The interview length was not long either as it took roughly 35 minutes. After this a short answer test was given that had arithmetic and problem solving based questions.

Awful interviewer. It was only a 20 minute interview and instead of using this opportunity to ask a wide range of questions, he incessantly spent the vast majority of the interview asking about my career gap. I completely understand wanting to know about gaps and I expect + prepare for a question or two about it, but not to waste the vast majority of an interview on it. The manner in which he did this was unprofessional as well, using an incredibly interrogative tone and not so subtly inferring I don't want to work. Also in a rare moment when he asked a question on a different topic (what do you gather will be involved in this role?), he said I was wrong when I mentioned lateral flow assays, even though the posted job description explicitly singles out operation of equipment called "IUL iPeak analyser", whose specific function is the reading of lateral flow assays. He barely let the other interviewer get a word in, which is a shame, as the rare times she was allowed to speak by him she actually asked relevant questions. Unsurprisingly, I was unsuccessful in getting this job, but incredibly successful in managing to avoid working for such a vile human being. Not very often my feeling is that of relief when I see a job rejection, but this was one of those times.
