The interview process included me completing an application form and then completing a telephone interview lasting around 20-25 minutes ,the interviewer was quite sweet and i made sure to ask a question at the end.
Interviewer was very nice, questions themselves were not there to trip you up. It was not that difficult and they gave you 2 out of the 8 questions to prepare for before the actual telephone interview.
