Negative experience

Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at NHS (Derry, Northern Ireland) in Sep 2016

Interview

A panel of 3 people asking 3-4 questions each (total around 10) consisting of two men and a woman. One was head of the technical team, one an engineer and the other was head of decontamination. The questions were not typical maintenance questions as they revolved around standards (i.e. ISO etc). and seemed to concentrate on the importance of working to these standards. Also asked a lot of questions specific to medical equipment, so if you have not had direct experience with medical equipment then you were at a serious disadvantage.
