Update...
My interview took place this afternoon and I was very nervous given I was really keen to move from my current role. I am not sure however how this went so here goes...
I was brought to a waiting area outside the interview room. After a few minutes I was asked in and took a seat in front of a panel of 4 people, all from various divisions within HR.
I was informed the interview would only take 15 minutes and that made me even more nervous. Each of the panel asked me a couple of questions, and each question had at least 2 or 3 parts to it. As you can imagine trying to give examples of everything they asked in 15 minutes was rather daunting. Even though I had prepared well, I found it was all a bit rushed and I'm not sure I did as well as I would have liked.
The scenario is that the vacancies are with a local university, in fact it's where I had my first permanent job, many moons ago. It seems that while there are currently several vacancies, successful candidates not offered a position this time round, will be placed on a waiting list. In time, as vacancies arise, those candidates will be contacted and considered for the roles.
I was a bit disappointed at this, knowing that I could either be unsuccessful, or that I may be successful but not be offered a position for a role at the minute. It would mean however that I could be contacted down the line should something else become available.
The panel would not reveal how many vacancies were currently available but assured me that all candidates would be contacted within the next 2 weeks and informed of their status.
On reflection that allows me some breathing space to take stock and assess my situation. I think based on today's events, I can say that I will probably remain in my current job for the time being until I know what the result of my interview is.
Have any of you ever been through a similar kind of interview process/selection?
