It was a group interview, prior to the interview we were asked to prepare a minutes speech about something we're passionate about. It's sort of just little ice breaker stuff, nothing too intense. We then had to go out on the street and ask strangers for things in exchange for a paperclip. Then that was it - I got the call later that day to tell me I got it. They all seem really lovely and caring at the interview - don't fall for it, they couldn't care less about you and will fire you after two days, it's just what they do. Don't waste your time.

The interview process revolved around the individuals personality, thinking on their feet and general presence. The interview was conducted in groups of three around a table with the manager. The manager explained the job and the importance of the role we were applying for. My impression of the whole interview process is that the manager did not expect to be overly impressed by the knowledge the applicants had of Amnesty International. Instead he was more interested in whether or not we were not introverts and uncomfortable. Basic competence testing was evident, but by no means was the most important factor in determining who would get the job.
