Question 1
How do you manage multiple competing priorities with a similar deadline?

Question 1
Why do you think youre the ideal candidate for the role
Dynamic, it opened up the possibility for discussion and had members of different teams which provided insight into the job. It consisted of different stages with a couple of interviews with managers and one with consultants, as well as a case study interview. The latter was very fast paced and provided the chance for critical thinking. The questions were quite broad and lacked clarity on what they were expecting of the role.
