Had an interview yesterday. It's was quite straight forward, and quick which only makes one wonder why so much is put in the initial stage.

They will ask to run down of the case study first, then competency. Learn their values as my mind went blank in the interview and as I left I remembered them. They will ask a question of a time you've had to give bad news. A time where you've made an impact to your team and most importantly use the star method. I didn't get successful as I knew by not answering that values question really messed me up but I hope everyone else gets it!!!!

They also asked about a time i made a mistake and fixed it and also something i learned and then had to share with others.

Dont be nervous! The interviewers were very friendly and down to earth.

And sorry to hear you didnt get the job turkishtea! :frown:

Haha no biggie! If I have the time I'll reapply in three months lol. Yeah! A time I had made a mistake and how I rectified it along with sharing a knowledge. The questions truthfully are all about their values and behaviours so the best thing id say is read all the values and behaviours as each one there will be a question on. Had I been given this info I think I would've prepared better!

Oh thankyou so much that will definitely help me prepare!!
I did the case study over a month ago! So I might struggle with trying to remember if they ask me anything on that!
Sorry you didn't get the job, I'm sure if you apply again, you'll smash the interview 😊

They just want you to paraphrase the whole case study. Like what was it about etc etc. so I'd say sum it up in a paragraph and memorise it. And then use all the questions myself and the others have given and you'll smash it! Good luck!!

Hi everyone,

Does anyone here work as case work support/operations administrator? Im really interested in this role and wanted to know if anyone knows when they usually recruit for temps as they hardly post these jobs on their website.

Please let me know. Thanks!
