HMRC 042R Officer Caseworkers (External) October 2016

Got an e-mail today saying I'm through to the next round. I personally think the competency statements and online scores should have been marked in one go; seems like a very odd way of doing things.*

Can someone please remind me of the 4 compentencies? Would really appreciate it!
And can't see to find the downloadable candidate pack would be very grateful if someone could post that please.
Good luck all!

My understanding was they sift on the first, then only score competencies for the second if you scored a pass mark or high mark on that. So if your first is stronger then that's better. I feel my first is stringer too. But been through many sifts at lots of different levels, it's hard to tell what the person who is scoring will think, I think it's hard to be objective.

As an aside; I think we will here much sooner than 2 weeks if we get through competency sift as I'm sure I read interviews to start 20th October.

Oh right I see! No I meant that my 'leading and collaborating' competency was stronger, which was the second of the two...but I guess I'll just have to wait. I really just have no idea what type of example they were looking for as I've never applied to the CS before, but oh well, I guess this will be a learning experience!

I think as long as you have hit the bullet points for that particular competency, you won't have gone far wrong. However I have in the past written competencies and gone out of my way to write around the bullet points and still only managed to score 3. This is after having them checked by my husband who has been trained to assess competency statements. So who knows?

Anyone applied for London
