What advice would you give someone applying for a role at Nottingham Building Society?
If you're thinking about a career with Nottingham Building Society, let your personality shine through. Just be yourself, as they know you're not a robot. I would also say relax. As hard as it is to relax in an interview, it goes much smoother when you slow down, breathe and be yourself.
