Home Office - Asylum Decision Maker (EO)

Hi everybody! do you know if it's possible to change the location preferences after passing the OAC? Do you think it's a good idea to email them saying that now that I realise I prefer my second choice of work location?

Thank you in advance!

Hi in the q&a they said it's not possible as someone asked that same question, so no

I was unsuccessful on my application after my OAC. Any questions on how it works/feedback?

I’d love some tips/advice too,I have mine in a few weeks so anything to point me in the right direction would be great 😊 thanks

So many rejections being handed out today, part of me is hoping it’s a glitch but probably not lol I did get an email after doing the first test we ever took to say I had been unsuccessful though, don’t know if anyone else had the same experience - and then a few days later i got another email to say I was successful 🤷*♀️ 😂 think it’s just wishful thinking on my part tbh. Hopefully we all manage to find something else soon. Was a good experience.

You will be asked to complete 2 tasks. The first being a Roleplay session and the second being a written exercise.

During roleplay you will be assessed on "Communicating and Influencing", whilst on the written exercise it will be on "Making Effective Decisions".
The roleplay is an interview setting and the tips I would recommend are:
Adjust your communication style in response to the role-actors
Be careful to demonstrate that you value the role-actors opinion and don't talk over them.
Keep in mind sensitivity and diplomacy at all times with role-actor.

As for the written exercise:
Make sure your decision is clear while outlining how you reached your decision having considered all options, risks and wider implications. (There are no right or wrong answers for this part)

The roleplay lasted about 8 minutes and the written task about 25 minutes. Hope this helps, good luck!

Very helpful! Thank you very much! Do you mind if I ask you what do they ask for during the pre employment checks? Did they ask you for references from previous employers, university degree, etc?

Thank you in advance!

Afternoon all
