A friend has been applying for roles, and for a particular role she: 

Spent a number of hours on her application, including a detailed cover letter addressing the needs of the role. Then an hour on a zoom interview with the recruitment consultant. Then was asked to complete video responses to some questions. Then on learning she had been shortlisted she drove over an hour to the “confidential” location for the in-person interview (only learning later why it was “confidential”). Then an hour in the interview. Then an hour driving home.  

At the interview location she walked into the room for her interview. It was a panel interview, which on the surface looked to be a carefully put together diverse group of people. This could be an organisation that takes diversity & inclusion seriously, I thought to myself while being told the story.
