Hello Andrew, there should be a paragraph under the job specification which say specifically how you will be assessed. It normally says something like, ' your interview will be assessed using the Civil Service Success Profiles framework.' And then it will tell you whether you are being assessed on Behaviours, Technical, Strength, Experience and Ability. From what you have sent me, it suggests that you might be assessed on Behaviours and Experience but I can't be sure without seeing the wording of that paragraph. If in doubt, I recommend that you preparae for Strengths as well. I hope your interview goes well. Elizabeth

Hello I’m preparing for a return to the Probation Service. This has been helpful - knowing how to prepare is key and finding examples that will flow in success style interviews is proving challenging. Do you have any advise on pinpointing examples

Thank you so much for publishing these videos. I find them really helpful. Just a quick question: if it says on the job description that at interview they will be assessing Behaviours and Experience, should the answers be structured using the STAR format? Many thanks in advance for your answer ❤️

Yes if you have a Civil Service interview which mentions key Behaviours in the job specification, then you need to prepare STAR example to answer questiosn on the Behaviours. Good luck with the interview

Hi Heather, choose you most relevant examples for each Behaviour but focus on your most recent challenging examples. Example more than 5 years ago are often seen as dated and it is more difficult to remember the details. Sometimes, we have to draw on more than one role so that the examples don't sound very similar, it depends on what you do. Good luck. Elizabeth

I've been informed: _There is no expectation or requirement for you to prepare for the strengths-based questions in advance of the interview_

Adam, you'll often be told that you don't need to prepare for Strength questions because the idea is that if they are natural strengths of yours you'll be able to answer fluently, up to two minutes with lots of anecdotes. After coaching thousands of clients for Strength questions at all levels, everyone finds preparation and practice is essential to do well.
