Entrevista
I was sent a written test and once I sent the answer back, phone interview was arranged.
Phone interview duration was 60 min (it over run) and plus few minutes left for some questions at the end.
One person led the interview most of the time and the other person led the numerical part at the end in the last 10 min or so. The interview started off with them explaining the structure of the interview – firstly, why I am interested in the role and secondly, move on to my written answers to that I submitted earlier, then a 'coding test'. At this point, I pointed out that I have no prior coding skills, but they said they wanted to know my numerical reasoning, ‘coding like thinking' skills.
2 people were interviewing and we all phoned in and ‘met’ on a conference bridge. They didn't introduce their disciplines but I assume that they were both in a managerial role in closely related field to the advertised post.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
1) What was my motivation for applying to this position and how I found the job advert (because the role is quite unique, they said they are always interested in knowing how candidates come across with the position)?
2) Do you think you are comfortable with what you know about the role of knowledge engineer or would you like us to tell you more? - Quite a detailed description was given. Some questions were answered during this part.
3) Why do you think the particular written test was given, and how did you find it? I think this was an opportunity for them to find out if I knew the context in which I use the similar thinking process as a knowledge engineer would.
4) Over 20 min was spent on going through the written exercise, in quite a detail. When I was struggling I thought the interviewer was really helping me to get to the answer. So it felt like it was a positive learning process.
5) Numerical test using the script sharing online tool, lead by a second interviewer (10 min).
