Civil Service Cyber Security Apprenticeship - Interview Prep: Help please!

@CCooper1991 Thanks Caroline, I’ve seen it. I’m waiting on Steven and Caroline, then I’ll make the group of the 5 of us.

I don’t think I can send a private message yet - says I have to be a member for 3 days. So I’m guessing that feature will turn on tomorrow. Will send then!

Hi All, make sure you submit all your necessary personal identification documents and preferred locations to the email addresses provided to us via email. I’m already having issues with my personal ID since my names differ from document to document 🤦🏾*♂️. Has to be done no later than 12pm, 6th of August if you were not aware.

Literally just did mine!! haha.

Hey has anyone had a positive response from them yet? I was a bit unclear about whether I could send a pdf of my bank statement as third piece of ID. It said to send scans but in the document which outlined what we could send it said no scans or online bank bank statements .... just curious if anyone has heard back and has been given a date to have the video interview about locations etc?

All my documents were accepted that is a positive. However, they also wanted me to confirm in my email my full name including all my middle names that appeared on my birth certificate. From reading the attached document they sent to us to my understanding it states electronic documents which are typically PDFs should NOT be sent. From my understanding they have to be the original paper documents. In regards to the bank statement you may need to go to your local bank branch ask them to print off a bank statement with your address on it and then email it off.

Lastly, I’ve not been given a date about the video interview and locations yet.

Thank you submitted mine but need another piece of evidence with my old address on as my old address is still on my driver's license
Also minor setback today. .. I got a call saying they might not be able to offer me Sheffield anymore (which is my only choice really), so I might need to look into other options (Manchester and at a push Leeds..)

No worries Caroline, cheers for the update.

Hi there, I am going to sit mine soon. Is it possible of you still remember some of the strength questions that were asked

Hey both, congrats for being shortlisted. I heard a few thousand had applied for last year’s CS recruitment campaign so you’ve done really well to get this far.

I can’t remember the exact questions asked but there were a lot of “To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement -“ and the statement would be something like ‘if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.’

I remember being asked questions on:
- problem solving
- How you respond to things
- Fixing things
- Connecting with people

We had to 2 minutes to answer and you can’t re-record your answers. You can stop recording if you finish answering early.

With strength questions it’s important to display positive behaviour. That includes body language, tone and use of positive words. Use short examples to demonstrate your answer if possible but this isn’t always easy to do for strength based questions so don’t worry if you don’t do this for all of them as you can still pass this way - I did!

Has anyone heard back from this? I got through to the assessment centre but since their email saying they'll set a date soon, have heard nothing
