Civil Service Summer Diversity Internship Programme 2020/21

Couldn't find a thread for SDIP this year so I thought I'd make one! I found TSR really helpful with EDIP.

Anyone applying?

You have to wait to see if you've got through to motivational statements. You don't automatically move through each part.

Going to do my online tests today 😁. For EDIP I got through to the telephone interview stage but didn’t pass that. I know you have to follow the STAR method for interviews but can someone recommend a YouTube channel / website which has information on how to prep for interviews and what to say etc.?

Thank you 🙌

Yes I think I did for most of the scenarios I gave. However, I didn’t ask any questions after the interview so maybe that’s why I didn’t make it. Or maybe I could’ve used better scenarios
