Entretien
I filled in an online application that included uploading my CV and answering the usual roll call of personality questions. I was then invited for an interview with the regional manager in the city centre. The interview was scheduled for 6 weeks after I had been accepted.
The interview was very formal. I spoke with the regional manager while a branch manager wrote down everything that I said. The questions were the usual "Can you state a time" questions and I tried my best to answer them honestly. The regional manager was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.
I was declined the job around 3 days later, and feedback was available. On the whole however the feedback process was not very useful. The lady who spoke to me on the phone read through the regional managers notes in a very monotone and unenthusiastic way. It was a bit patronising when she unenthusiastically told me that I didn't have the enthusiasm for Barclay's.
On the whole this was an enjoyable interview and the company seemed solid. Bare in mind that it is a very corporate setting. I wouldn't recommend this company as an interview prospect for autistic people. I declared my Asperger in the application, but obviously the condition held me back from being successful with this company. If you are autistic however and want to get more practise with job interviews then go for it, they are very friendly and welcoming.

I applied online for a temp position, after 3 days the recruiter contacted me,I did a screening on the phone and they sent me a link to a video interview,,my interview went well, just 11 pre-recorded competency based questions using STAR technique.
Then they made me wait for 2 weeks so I had to email them,,somebody contacted me the same day saying they decided to chose an internal candidate.
What a shame and waste of time!

This was for a temporary role. Although recruitment was done by Barclays you were employed by an agency in London. It was a video interview so I never actually had a face to face interview. This was the first time I'd done a video interview and you had to answer the questions in a certain time frame before it moved on to the next question which was a bit tricky. Have a list of scenarios at the ready and dress as though you are at a physical interview as they will see what you look like on video.

The interview lasted approximately for an hour. I was interviewed by two people. The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly. The questions were not very difficult. But it was necessary that the answers were structured according to the STAR technique. It's really important for the candidate to be prepared to describe specific incidents from their working history. Be well prepared in advance! The questions were focused on the candidate competency guide sent within the interview confirmation email. They made questions on the topics: Control environment, Interpersonal skills and Technical Skills. They didn't ask anything about the information on my CV.
