The atmosphere was very neutral, a kind of perfect façade of pleasant interest that gives you little or no clue as to how you are doing, in terms of whether your answers are genius or utter rubbish. I was interviewed by one interviewer, who had a copy of my CV with her and took copious notes during the interview. She mentioned that she was familiar with my file and that I should use examples that were not already in my application.
To start with, there was a bit of light conversation about whether I had found it hard to get to the interview location. I received a pen and a note telling me what to expect after the interview and giving me some contact details (generic email address) if I had questions after the interview.
