Exhausting, time absorbing, bureaucratic, slow and waist of time. Application form was unclear. So many documents on the website with information for your application but never a document that bundled everything so I used maybe 5 different instruction forms and several info pages at the website. Had to fill in work history, evidence for previous skills and behaviours, Leadership behaviour example and a cover letter of max 1250 words. The skills/behaviours were in the job description and description of the ideal candidate, so you had to combine and filter these otherwise you needed to prove 20-30 skills/behaviours with evidence. Fun fact: they said in the explanation form: keep it short. How is that possible with everything they asked? The interview was cold and formal. No possibility to find out there's a personal match. Never In my live needed so much attention and time in one application. I thought I was used to time intensive applications since I applied and completed for several Graduate programmes years ago.

Two part interview, first half was given a scenario and 15 minutes to prepare. We had to explain how we would escalate staffing shortages within service. Second half was standard interview questions as outlined below.
