The remote over the interview date was moved at short notice. Originally it was scheduled using one application, then late on the night before, it was moved to an alternative that I hadn’t used on my device before. I had to chase the HR contact for a response to the online interview. Eventually I received a standard email response 6 weeks after the interview, about 10 weeks after the initial application. Not what you’d expect from the civil service, more a back street temp agency.

Initial question was - Why do you want this job? It was a competency based interview based upon the competencies listed in the role profile. 4 competency based questions followed by 3 role specific questions. It was one hour long and it was conducted by a panel of three people. They were very friendly and so long as you have done plenty of preparation, the interview is a breeze.
