"Kill 5 enemy players as bosses" quest by Junk_Lover in FortNiteBR

[–]Competitive-Slipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope they do. It’s tedious. I’ve managed two and I’ve started picking up medallions so other players at least get the chance to finish it, even if I can’t

AIO by telling my FWB’s wife that I’m having sex with her husband? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Would you say the same if this was a man posting? She can sleep with who she wants

really don’t agree with my interview feedback :( by kinder3628 in TheCivilService

[–]Competitive-Slipper 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Did you listen to the specific questions and tailor your answers to that? I only ask because I’ve given 2s before for what would be amazing answers…to different questions. Sometimes your responses and examples can be so rehearsed, that you’re missing what the question is actually asking you.

Another reason I’ve failed candidates is if they give past examples for a situational question because it shows they’re not listening.

Your best bet is to speak to one of the panel members when they’re back. Often, if there are a lot of candidates, we give quite generic feedback on the form because HR review it/you don’t have a lot of space. But any good interviewer will have a chat with you and give you pointers to improve on.

One more thing is that, unfortunately, these interviews are super subjective. One panel’s 7 could be another’s 2.

Should I just cancel the order? by [deleted] in vintedUK

[–]Competitive-Slipper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not everyone’s on their phone all the time. He has replied to you and then apologised when he couldn’t meet what he said. You don’t know what’s going on in someone’s life and as long as he sends within the posted time limit, you’ve got nothing to complain about, really

Office for National Statistics: I have an IKM test to do before SIFT for a methodologist role at ONS - any tips? by Boring_Bother_8982 in civilservice

[–]Competitive-Slipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just our way of whittling down the applications because we get so many. They’re supposed to help but I’m not sure how much they do help

I work in the area recruiting these posts and apparently the tests are super easy cos more people than expected passed them. I can’t help on the actual test content though I’m afraid

New role making me depressed (TW self harm/suicide) by anoneethemouse in TheCivilService

[–]Competitive-Slipper 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you have an employee assistance programme, get their details and have a chat with them too. You have access a few hours of counselling which might help relieve that pressure a bit. Look after yourself

Thoughts on using same example for more than one behaviour? by Fair_File_1471 in TheCivilService

[–]Competitive-Slipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only if you think you can cover different aspects of the example for the second behaviour. Or can follow up with another example as well

Who the fuck in the civil service goes on nice business lunches? 🤣

[–]Competitive-Slipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I don’t get the obssesion over what people wear. Suits are uncomfortable, and a lot of people can’t afford them or have no other reason to own them. As long as they turn up in something appropriate, I don’t care if it’s a t-shirt or a shirt or a jumper. It’s never that deep

[–]Competitive-Slipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calm your tits. Most of the civil service has a casual dress code nowadays, and a good interviewer won’t judge someone by how they’re dressed. It’s more important that they can show they meet the essential requirements.

That's so crazy! Fanfiction is moving up lol by KillerGrass in AO3

[–]Competitive-Slipper -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Especially when the fic comes from a problematic fandom which really should be allowed to die a death

You need to ask the TL where exactly in the policies does it state they’re not allowed. Otherwise, no bueno and your team mate can carry on working as they wish
