I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Swarco (Hemel Hempstead, England) in Mar 2023
Interview
Had an initial chat on the phone, then a more formal telephone interview and then a face to face which included a presentation of my intended approach to the strategy and role. Disappointingly I was kept waiting for a long time (over two weeks) with no communication as the company awaited their first choice candidates decision as I was apparently a close second. I would just advise to let people know what you're doing in this instance, as it came across as a bit rude, having taken time out of my day - and annual leave time off of my current job - to produce a presentation (last minute because of availability of interview slots) and deliver it to what seemed like a great response, to then feel like there was just radio silence. The application portal updated me before I had received any sort of response as the application moved from active to archived. Otherwise seems like a good company and a good opportunity, but please just keep people in the loop a bit more.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach delivering strategy for two separate brands?
Der Interviewer war freundlich und professionell. einige der fragen waren unerwartet und nicht typisch für ein vorstellungsgespräch. das vorstellungsgespräch konzentrierte sich auf die erfahrungen vor dieser bewerbung. Ich weiß nicht, warum ich dafür 30 Wörter schreiben muss.
