Had to complete 3 tasks before the interview (plan a 10 minute tutorial, answer some questions related to the subject discipline, and mark a sample of student work). On first view, the tasks looked very lengthy given there was less than a week's notice, but actually they were relatively straight forward for me since I had experience in all those aspects. The interview lasted about 75 minutes including delivering the tutorial. It was a relaxed environment where I was encouraged to ask questions throughout the process.

Long application form included 2 x 2500 word statements. Applied end of July 2022, then after this OU decided they did not need staff. In Feb 2023 they said recruitment started again and asked me to complete .... a response to a student e mail mark some work a micro tutorial Oh... and I'd also have to prepare for interview WASTE OF TIME for a few grand a year and then they were pushing me to attend the interview...may be I should let them know in half a years time?
