Interview
I was invited to have a 30 minute chat over Zoom video, the interviewer was excellent. I felt the interview went great and it ran longer then the allotted time with lots of in-depth questions aswell as a thorough run through of what the role would involve. Unfortunately I was not put forward to the 2nd panel interview stage and I was not given any explanation as to why.
