Interview experience:

Because I don’t live directly in London, I had to book a last minute flight the night before – stressful but worth it. The interview itself was very straightforward. I arrived 30 mins early, got a ticket for the queue, and was seen before my time at one of the regular booths in the waiting area. They asked me the same questions I’d already covered in my letter, plus why I changed my application from Soft Power to Work-cation.

The staff were kind and professional and the atmosphere felt very relaxed.

Context:

I work for myself online.
