Executive Officer (Asylum Operations Decision Maker/resettlement)

I have my interview for this on Tuesday and I'm feeling quite nervous!

I have been to a similar interview within the civil service before for a Health & Safety Inspector but they don't give you feedback. Not sure what to do differently! Are you just going to talk about the competencies you wrote about in your application?

I turned up on Friday to have my interview and no one had any record of me being scheduled for an interview and the interviewer had actually gone home. I was devastated- have emailed manpower to see what comes of it?!*

What location are you for? *

Thats what I am planning on doing lol.
How did yours go ? Where are you doign yours?

I've just had mine and reeled my competences off to them. It was quite quick. Is this your last week of interviews?

Feel I never said enough- did they say when you find out? *

ooo how was yours rebecca?? How long did it last?

20-30 mins haha

To be honest, I thought 45 mins would be far too long if they were just ognna ask us the 5 compentencies "Tell me when you made a good decision..." etc.

That's ridiculous! That said, it's not surprising - my experiences of Civil Service recruitment always seem to be really unorganised.

Fingers crossed manpower can get it rearranged for you though.

I've applied for Glasgow, what centre was it you were going for?

How was your interview today?

Mine was better than expected I think. What about yours? You got any idea when we're likely to hear back?

Did you guys use the same competency answers in your interview as you did in your application?

Glasgow how did you get on?

If you value your sanity, avoid. I learnt a lot in the job but the expectations/stats are mostly unrealistic. The department is under strain. No one is happy 👍🏽 Starting during the pandemic makes it even more difficult.
