I meant what question for each compantancy
Can you give me an example please

That's what I mean. There is no question as such.

There are 4 competencies, and they will ask you to provide them with an example of when you have demonstrated each competency,

E.g. "Can you give me an example of a time when you have made an effective decision?"

So you look at the competencies guideline for the "Making an Effective Decision" section. Then look for the relevant grade, which in this case is 'Level 2: EO or equivalent' and make sure your example covers all the points on the left hand side.

Congratulations, good luck! When is it? How much notice do they give you or can you pick from a selection of dates? I've got a black eye and really want it to clear up before any interview!!

You can pick from a selection of dates and times. Starting from next week until March 3rd.

Can give you a brief explanation, London always has a higher salary but the £23,310 is the national 2016 wage, 2017 - £24,476, 2018 - £25,699, 2019 - £26,892.

Where does it state that?

It's the civil service payscale that's been agreed over the next couple of years. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://pcsfylde.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/dwp-pay-offer-aa-to-heo-2016-17-18-19/&ved=0ahUKEwjhhum_-_7RAhVIKMAKHS44CxEQFghtMAg&usg=AFQjCNFiHGCOI3fvaw5WJ1ZzTIGnL8yoQw&sig2=dMU5CscACJWyBmM1or6_Ng

Yey!
Well done all those hearing back!

Mine has updated from "on hold" to "under review".

I also had a email back from DWP saying that they are sifting my area over the next couple of days....(IM SO IMPATIENT)...

What I wondered is...is anyone doing this role already? What is the training like?

Cheers 😁

I
Applied for HEO in July and missed by 3 marks was my first interview in 9 years so the reason why I'm asking what they exactly will ask is because I want to prepare for it as much as I can so time I don't mess up
