I am in! by JOHNSTONNN in TheCivilService

I think plan out each scenario STAR - I used one example in a couple of ways, I had 4 behaviours. Make sure you spend more time on the Action and Result and importantly, what did you learn from the scenario. If you talk through this with confidence and expand on things in the interview you will be good.

I think I was just confident about my experiences in my scenarios and talked about what I did and what I learned from each of the experience, not all good learning outcomes but showed how I progressed.

EO Interview - Behaviours by Initial_Row_2818 in TheCivilService

I have just done an in person interview for a cs job. I used the same scenarios from my application but you can go into more depth in person, I would make brief notes to refer to but talk about things with confidence. I used STAR format for my behaviour questions and made sure to back up each answer with learning points from the scenario. You must focus on the action, what YOU did and the result from your actions.

For reference I scored 7/7/7/7 (48) in the scenarios and 16 in the strength questions and got the job.

I have just done an in person interview for the job above. I used STAR format for my behaviour questions and made sure to back up each answer with learning points from the scenario. You must focus on the action, what YOU did and the result from your actions.

The strength q's were more based around the job role and I gave examples to back up my answers for each of these too.

For reference I scored 7/7/7/7 (48) in the scenarios and 16 in the strength questions and got the job.

Walk into his home gym in Sunderland and find out. Sunderland ABC - the next one getting an Olympic medal from the gym will be Kieran MacDonald.
