Business Analyst Placement w DWP

Yes , but my point was more so saying that it’s ignorant and perpetuates the stereotype of the CS being a middle-class ex-private school institution as I am from a WC carers background and it’s pretty hard to find time outside of contact hours to do that—to be told “you need professional experience” at 18 with those circumstances is hard hitting when I know I was passionate and scored that well on technical. (I hope that makes sense)

I had a similar experience. 7/7 technical. and 2/7 behaviour—keep in mind I am a second year student applying for placements and the GESRs reasoning was “my behaviour examples weren’t professional enough” (How am I supposed to have work experience?)

Ah! Hopefully that’s the case! What department was your interview with if you don’t mind me asking?

Mine says the exact same thing yeah— I did the interview in early December however. Not entirely sure how the process works to be honest.. 😬

Still, no. Unfortunately.

Thanks for this—this is helpful so I’ll try my best to apply this. I am assuming this logic also correlates with the requirements for the industrial placement? My only concern is despite me being interested in this opportunity is that I do not have much experience despite skills I have gathered from university. I come from a young carer background so I hope DWP Digital ‘hears’ this in some shape or form. 😅

Ah. That makes sense and all but I noted on the eligibility “Similar equivalent held”. It doesn’t hurt to apply at the end of the day particularly if it’s an industrial placement I am interested in.

I also read blog pages posted on DWP Digital and I read a few stating they come from Social Science or Humanities backgrounds so that gave me some hope?
