HM Passport Office (Grade 1/Grade 3?)

Hi,

Does anyone else have an interview (or has had an interview) anywhere in the UK for either a Grade 1 or Grade 3 Passport Officer?

Just graduated, applied for it, passed the tests and telephone interview and now have a panel interview coming up...

I only did online tests at the very start?! Which was like, being given a jumble of letters and having to pick the corresponding rearrangement. But after that, it was a phone interview and now an actual interview, I haven't had any other online tests.

Which position did you apply for? Maybe there's a difference. (:

Hi Louise Miller, I have booked my telephone interview. what is the interview like? If you don't mind share the experience? Pretty nervous at the moment.

For the interview are you supposed to use different examples for the competency questions than what you used on your application form?

I have the same question as Vrstar, can we use the same examples that we used during the initial application. Many thanks.

Same, I can't decide whether to use different examples or whether you're meant to elaborate on the ones you've used, or how they'll word the questions...

@Vrstar .. i will still keep the one i used and I will prepare another one.. just to be on the safe side. it seems we are the only ones right now apart from Louise Miller, but may be she is not checking this forum. When is ur slot ??

Vrstar

It's tomorrow morning. Don't know why I'm worrying about it, it's just because there's no indications online on the type of questions they ask or how they're worded etc so I can't properly prepare. I just think there's nothing worse than not knowing what to say in a telephone interview and you can't grasp how it's going really.

@Vrstar.. mate read the first email u received regarding u have successfully gone through ur online test. they mentioned there what u r expected to do.

Sorry! I wasn't checking the forum. I'm useless, haha.

I have the job based on conditional security checks for grade 3 but I don't have anything to hide so I imagine I should be fine. (:

I think I'm too late to give anyone telephone interview advice (sorry again for not checking, wow) but if you get through to the panel interview let me know! I'll check back and tell you what went on.
