I think there is some blurb about them carrying out a sift of the applications should there be a high number of applicants......so an interview is likely, but not guaranteed.

If this is the one I think it is - I applied had to do the BBA game thingy AND the written test. I had confirmation today my extra time request at interview was approved and they will be notifying people of the first interview slots this week. Safe to say I think I got an interview :smile:

This thread is the one through the civil service website not the home office one.

I passed sift as well, North Region

Anyone know any good advice for the strengths based interview?

I scored max in the apprenticeship one but wondering how they might ask different questions, wondering if I can use my police experience a bit more here

I struggle to throw in examples with strength based interviews 🙈

I think the trick is to just be yourself and relax they are designed in a way where it is hard to revise. For example I got a question last time that was what do you think of rules
