Home Office AO Role

They will be sort of scenario based questions something along the lines of ‘can you tell me about a time when you worked collaboratively to achieve an end goal…. You should ensure in your answer that you provide an example that meets the behaviour points in the framework.
Hope this helps

Thank you for replying do you know if the strength questions are related to the behaviours or are they just random?

You must check the civil service success profiles and download the pdf on behaviours and strengths. It will tell you what strength go with the behaviour. Once you get your head around it will be a walk in the park. Happy to assist further

Hi guys

I applied for the Home Office - Customer Services Group - Administrative Officer (AO) role and got through to the interview stage. It is through launchpad which is quite awkward anyway just talking to myself, but I’m so nervous.

I know the two behaviours they ask you about are delivering at pace and working together but I just have no clue what they will throw at me.

Has anyone done an interview yet with these behaviours? Do you remember what your interview questions were?

I have been searching but can’t really find anything so maybe this post will also help others who have applied too

Hi, have you done your interview for the Home Office - AO yet? I’ve been selected for an interview too.

I haven’t done it yet I was thinking to do it on Thursday

I have until Friday 25th Nov to do mine. I’m hoping to do it on Friday after work. I have a busy week ahead unfortunately. I’m not so keen about this AO role.

Here are some strength-based questions :

How do you feel about deadlines?-(Delivering at pace)
Do you like working as part of a team or as an individual? - (Working together)
Would others describe you as a team player and why? (Working together).
Do you believe in quality control or assurance when carrying out a task? (Delivering at pace).

Same here, I wanted to give myself enough time to practice that’s why I’m leaving it till Thursday. Thank you so much for those strength questions I was struggling to find them. When I do the interview I’ll post my questions here as well if you’re doing it on Friday you can take a look and see what questions I got

I was your Home Office - AO interview?

I think it went well, in the last questions I did stutter like twice I ate my words but the rest were fine they asked 2 strength questions how do you focus on completing a task and I forgot the other one and 2 behaviours which were tell me about a time you worked in a team and tell me about a time you had a deadline and the outcome

Thank you. I did my interview two hours before the deadline. What a good example of ‘Delivering at Pace’🤩
I work during the week, so it isn’t easy getting things done.

Hey guys, does anyone know if they ask any other questions apart from the two behaviour questions and strength questions? Someone told me that they ask 5/6 questions before the behaviours and strength questions come up? xxx

When do you think we will hear back if we were successful after the interview?
