Borders & Enforcement, Immigration Enforcement - Immigration Officer June 22

I’m going to attempt the tests soon. How did you find them?

I will be looking for either Swansea or Cardiff

I had one of the tests results banked from a previous application for a different role, so I only had to do the judgmental test and surprisingly I had higher than 84% of other candidates, so very pleased with that.

Just go with your gut feeling is my advice

I was the same, had the verbal test banked from last ICE team process but messed up the personal statement despite doing a job in the police that closely resembles the immigration job, just shows you can’t take anything for granted 🤣

I work for the Police too. But according to many threads here it’s not necessarily an advantage despite it all being law enforcement lol

It’s an advantage when it comes to providing examples of various behaviours/strengths but otherwise it has to be a level playing field and the parameters set for the marking matrix that assessors use for personal statements etc will be fairly tight, I will totally admit that I went into the personal statement in the last process with a ‘I’ve been in the Army and Police for the last 30 years and because of that I’m just brilliant at everything’ attitude, so if anything police types can come across as too cocky 🤣

I’m also a PC 😂

I basically used my same personal statement that I used for on border force, with a few role profile adjustments.

Have you attempted the tests yet?

I’ll join this PC gathering (me too 🙄😂).
When I log in to take the tests, it just mentions the verbal one. Does anyone know if I do that then it asks me to take the situational test after or it recognises I did a previous test for border force? Thanks

I could be wrong but I think you do the verbal one first and then if successful it will send you to judgement test, results from either test are back within 10 minutes

Yeah that’s exactly what happens.

For some the reason the 2nd test doesn’t get banked so any future applications you have to do again.

So why are soo many of us PC’s looking to leave ? 😂

Well I’m a PCSO with a view of becoming a PC. However, I’ve decided not to go down that road now unfortunately probably due to the reasons you guys are here 😂😂

My advice is absolutely do not go down that route at the moment. Looking back. PCSO was the best job I ever had, I’m in year 3 of the PCDA and it’s made me absolutely despise the job. You’re doing the right thing.
