Hi I had an interview a few weeks ago for the electronic monitoring one, just waiting to hear. Yesterday another email came through with interview for AO asylum decision maker
Ooh I didn't see the electronic monitoring one! Do you also have to do the Asylum one by 28th? Which would you prefer?

I done the interview for the asylum job couple weeks back.
I got an interview invite through yesterday too. I’m assuming it’ll be a pretty short interview as there are only two behaviours being assessed? I wonder how many strengths questions they’ll ask.

Hey I got my interview invite also, have until the 5th September to complete the interview.
Hey there, weirdly my first email said I had til 5th, but the second one said til 28th - may be worth double checking?

I don't remember reading anything about how long the interview will last or how many questions they'll ask.. I'll have another look!
Take it back - just heard it's by 5th!

The two behaviours are making effective decisions and managing a quality service. If you look up the civil service success profiles guide it’ll tell you what they’re looking for for those 2 behaviours.

Thank you. I’ve been doing that. I’m an external candidate so these are new to me.
I have an interview for this role too! I'm trying to guess possible interview questions based on the job description and essential criteria. So far i reckon that they will ask something about making difficult decisions or handling sensitive information but that is just a guess

I recently completed my interview there really is nothing to prepare for there isn’t anything I could think of to prepare an answer for, it’s just on the mark questions. But make sure you have your id ready for the end as you will have to show it.
