It was long, hard work and thorough but very worthy in the end.
It was a meant to be a 2 steps process that ended up being 3 steps because the original vacancy had been internally filled but my manager really wanted me in the team so he worked out a way of getting me on board.
1- Quick phone interview - walk me through your CV (I asked many questions and he liked that but it is up to the manager)
2- Business exercise - I have done lots throughout my career and this was the most thorough, longest and demanding I have done until today. You present it to you potential manager and a colleague. Then you have a competency based questionnaire from the People Team to test the fit with the company - just be yourself (in line with one of the values)
3- Met with Commercial Director and Grocery controller - informal interview with chat and questions from both sides.
