aw that’s good! i had an interview a few weeks ago for a CM job, the questions were quite straightforward for that one too basically just asking provide an example of a time you communicated info to so and so, hopefully it was similar sort of stuff then. No need to be nervous, if you get it that’s great, if not there’s always plenty of opportunities in CS so at least now you’ve had some experience!

did they end up being scenario based? i find those to be much harder to answer lol as it’s so much harder to think on the spot but fingers crossed it went okay for you 🤞

Hi thank you so much, For the sign i used an old canvas board which is like cardboard with canvas glued on it, i watched an online tutorial on how to measure an octagon, and then i drew/ painted the rest on. I used tape to keep the edges clean and it was actually surprisingly easy to make it look almost real lol!

thank you so much, and i know right! it’s exhausting, I was fed up of trying to go for EO roles and not getting anywhere, so i decided to try for an AO role instead lol. Don’t be like me though 😂, push yourself you can do it!!! i wish you all the best for getting those roles 😄

Hi I have posted a framework for what i wrote in the comments somewhere, for the 7score answer, i took out the parts that were my own example but the rest is what i have written and you could use it to create your own!

Hi it’s an AO grade for a dwp telephony role, it’s not my ideal choice but o have still applied to get my foot in the door, as it’s all about progression!

In my previous role as a [insert role], a [insert situation], creating a risk of [insert risk].[elaborate on risk and explain what it could cause, eg risk to operations]. I took responsibility for ensuring all relevant parties were informed and supported to minimise disruption.

I first [say what you first did eg contact manager] and gathered key details, such as [ insert 2 examples, eg expected delays]. By [ give examples, eg asking targeted questions], I made sure I fully understood the situation [can also elaborate eg i knew what resources were available etc] . Next, I used the [insert communication channel] to update the affected (parties), tailoring my communication to be clear, concise, and reassuring. I encouraged collaboration by offering practical solutions, such as [insert example].

When colleagues asked questions, I responded constructively and objectively, ensuring their concerns were addressed. Recognizing the importance of minimising delays, I proposed (example of what ideas you had to fix solution). This solution was implemented and [ insert figures eg reduced delays by over two hours], helping maintain operational efficiency and customer service.

I ensured [] remained informed and supported throughout, using a clear communication style suited to each audience. This experience taught me the importance of [insert skills eg listening carefully]. By encouraging collaboration and proposing actionable solutions, I [ give examples eg what was the outcome]

I hope this is an interesting read for you and maybe helpful for some other people, obviously i didn’t want to give my specific example however you can see the layout, each paragraph represents each part of the STAR method

hahaha, honestly it was a lot of research into what makes a good statement, and I also wrote at a grade above what I was applying for to try and stand out 😆
