They were really nice, no trick questions
If you prepare the behaviours they ask for from the interview information you should be fine!

How was the technical part of the interview? I'm quite anxious, as I don't have an economics background and I'm unsure what exactly they're looking for

I can't remember when it opened exactly, but applications closed on 9th May. You first have to complete a maths test, and once you're successful you complete a CV and personal statement. I'm not too sure about start dates, I think it probably varies depending on which government organisation you're allocated to

I don't remember exactly what they asked but they didn't ask me that many questions after my presentation.
The instructions were quite broad so idk if what I did was what they expected either but I used python to analyse the data. Since you come up with your own research question I don't think they're expecting anything specific and there's a lot of different ways you can analyse the data. You can search up how to structure a research presentation, that might help you. I think I'll only know how I did when I get the results lol
