What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

You will be asked to do some two minute recorded answers to questions and once you see the questions you only have a minute to prepare what you are going to say. However, I would write down some ideas and experiences you can draw upon beforehand that are applicable to a few different questions as this helped me a lot. Also, take the whole of that minute you are given to think and do your best points first as you will likely run out of time

Do you have any interview tips?

It was a strengths based interview that asks you to reflect on certain skills you possess and when you employed them in your experiences up to this point. So reflecting upon when you have shown certain skills beforehand is important and the examples you use do not have to be academic or employment based they can be anything. For example, when asked about how I dealt with conflict within a team in the past I referred to some of my experiences playing in sports teams in my free time
