Question 1
Q: What type of communications campaign would you do and what would the key messages be? Q: Have you ever worked as part of a team, could you tell me a bit about that? Q: Have you ever had to use a large amount of different information to make a decision and how did you go about it?
They used CBI process. Find information about it on Youtube so you can prepare. From Google: "A Competency-Based Interview (CBI), also known as a behavioral or structured interview, is a type of interview that focuses on assessing a candidate's skills and abilities by asking them to provide specific examples of past experiences. The core idea behind CBI is that past behavior is the best predictor of future performance. "
