Border force officer January 2023

Got my email too. Worried about the interview now. I got onto a reserve list for Liverpool and Seaforth docks but my score was really low and I can't even remember the questions from that interview!

Here we go again, 140 post around UK
Who applied?

Anyone on here give me any tips on previous asked questions in pre recorded. I know it's hard to revise but interested in type of questions.

I just got confirmation that I’ve been successful at the sift stage interview link will drop tomorrow

Not gonna lie I'm pretty nervous.

I got an email to say I didn't meet eligibility requirements. Can anyone tell me if it could be due to my test score? I got 75%. I can't think of be any other reason as I've already been given a formal offer for BFO for another region. I have all the qualifications & driving licence required and am currently working as Border Force Apprentice. What do they mean by eligibility?

From reading all the posts on a similar thread, it looks like they are questions based around name a time when you did this.... and how you would react to a situation. Apparently no right or wrong answers. I hope anyway!!!!

If you check your feedback on your application it gives a score for the verbal test you did. Mine was 75%. It definitely sounds strange when it's all the same qualifications they ask for when you apply for either BFO or BFA and I've been successful for both, I've emailed them querying it but just wondering if people with lower scores got interviews?

ah thank you. i got 74 for BFO and 81 for BFA. But it says scored better than 74 and 81% than others. Maybe because you are already in the job. I was worried about applying for both. I have the qualifications for BFO but possibly not experience. Happy to do BFA although would struggle financially. I hope you get an answer to your question or it doesnt seem like progression is as easy as they say.

I wouldn’t worry too much mate you’ll get automatically promoted in a year anyway on the apprentice ship

It won’t be your test score as I got 73% and passed the sift.

Apparently, that's not the case, though you would think it should be. I asked when I started and was told it's 18 months as apprentice which just leads to a permanent AO position not EO.

Seriously?! That’s ******* shite, I’m pretty sure they try to pass it off as a promotion as well but thinking about it it’s just worded in a way to make you think that.

I’d definitely chase them then about it then.
