Failed Interview process for Administrative Officer Rant
I thought I would do well since I’ve already worked in an administrative/customer-role for HMRC before. Section A and B had answers that practically overlapped in meaning to the point where it became a matter of just picking the least confrontational one. Section C gave me only 10 minutes to answer more than several questions where I had to spot small incongruencies across multiple tables of data per question, and then do math on top of this as-well (it was basic math but I suck at math in any case, the questions also seemed to be out of place and more appropriate for an accounts-based role rather than a customer advisor so it felt a bit unfair.)
Not even 10 minutes passed after submitting my answers before I was hit with a rejection message. Surprisingly, I excelled at Section C but below average for A & B.
I just wanted to vent more than anything as I’ve been job searching for months and have been forced to claim benefits just to survive.
