We were separated into groups and asked to work in a team to discuss different scenarios we might come across in the role. This process was observed. We created a poster to present our ideas at the end of the discussion. This was followed by time to answer similar questions as a written test.

During the session, there were seven candidates seated around a rectangular table. Unfortunately, I was positioned at one end with no one directly opposite me. This arrangement made it very difficult for me to see and engage with the rest of the group. As a result, I struggled to read the room, gauge when it was appropriate to speak, or participate meaningfully in the discussion. This setup left me feeling isolated and excluded me from the rest of the group, which I think did not give me a fair opportunity to demonstrate my skills and contribute effectively. I believe a smaller group size or a circular formation would have been more appropriate. I wanted to raise this feedback as I found the experience really disappointing and not reflective of a fair or inclusive interview process.
