I know, what I was saying is that the interview part of the job (interviewing asylum seekers) is not mandatory and is more you can do interviews if you want to

Wow! So what is the job about? I thought it was 50% interviewing and case writing and court presentations. How does one make a decision without interviewing asylum seekers?

Hi guys. I hope all is well. Anyone had back after the DM interview? How long does it take for them to get back?

Hi Everyone, I also have an interview for this job but reading these comments has made me nervous lol. Can I ask, is anyone doing this role on a part time basis? Or is it full time or nothing? I was attracted to the advert because it spoke about flexibility and as a Mum of 2 I definitely need flexibility. But 37 hours a week is going to be impossible for me - 30 hours is the most I can do

I am not sure but I think its impossible to flexi or job share except the first 26 weeks of training at the academy. I think that is what they said. You can confirm with them. There is a contact person and an email with the advert.

The interview is not difficult and as you by now know its a virtual interview where they will ask about 9 questions. It is mainly on the behaviours mentioned in the advert. Just prepare your examples well and use the STAR method to answer the questions. The time is also amble when compared to other interviews. You got about 3 minutes for each question which is way more than the 2 minutes for most interview questions. I hope this helps.

Sorry I meant to say it is possible (not impossible)

I just did the interview and like someone mentioned it was 9 questions and a mix of competency and strength based.

Now anxiously waiting back for the results and feedback.

I did know of people who did the role on a part time basis in your position so it would be possible. Most jobs in the civil service work that way.

May be worth just asking the question at the end of your interview however :smile:

Hi, just wondering about the EO Asylum decision maker roles, ive had my interview and have been advised I've been placed on the reserve list. Can anyone tell me if I'm likely to get an offer based off this at some point or knows of anyone that's been taken off the reserve list? I am already a long serving CS so i am aware of the lack of compassion we get lol. Thanks

I got put on the reserve list also. But I’ve been offered a role within HMRC as an intelligence officer with RIS, so I’m taking that position. From some of the comments, the asylum decision maker role sounds horrible.

Congrats on your offer. I work in HMRC just now as an EO within business support. I have worked in previous similar roles to the asylum position so I know its going to be challenging lol. The comments don't put me off lol. Best of luck in your job with RIS. That will be so interesting 😊

Sorry this might be too late but they asked how do you make an objective decision? something else about communication. It was basically on those 3 success profiles.

Hope it went well!
