Hi, I have an interview at the NHS in a few days for a financial assistant role. What types of questions should I be expecting, and are there any tips that would be beneficial for me?

Some good practice would be in behavioral questions, why you want to work for the NHS (key values), and understanding the bigger picture of the job. These are good for any interview as some iteration comes up.

Ah, ok. I was just a bit confused about whether there would be any Excel-type exam/test. I have already gone over the NHS values, and I am still polishing up on some key specific answers. Thank you very much for the response, as it helps a ton. If there is anything else for me to know, please do let me know as anything does help.

Yeah, I have been through the job description and I have been tailoring answers related to the JD. It's just I have been a bit weary whether there would be other questions asked which have not been mentioned yet.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
