You get 30 seconds to prepare for behaviour question and have 5 minutes to reply, for strength questions it’s 5 seconds to prepare and 2 minutes for responses
There’s 6 question in total, first one is not scored and will be about what do you like to do in free time, what are your hobbies etc.
Second is behaviour question which will be constructed “tell me about the time when…”
The rest are strengths questions.

Focus on behaviour and strength associated with it:

Delivering at Pace

[start]Always work with focus and pace to get the job done on time and to a high standard. Follow the relevant policies, procedures and rules that apply to the job. Use own knowledge and expertise to organise work. Keep focused on delivery and take responsibility for the quality of work produced. Keep a consistent level of personal performance. Keep managers and stakeholders updated on how work is progressing.[/start]

[start] Catalyst[/start]

[start]You are self-motivated to act to achieve a goal. You are confident using your own initiative to take forward actions[/start]

[start] Focussed[/start]

[start]You strive for quality outcomes and excellence in everything you do.[/start]

[start] Organiser[/start]

Hi, thanks so much for this. Super helpful. I’ve got until tomorrow night to complete my interview and I’m absolutely dreading it. Not even sure I can go through with it. My nerves are getting the better of me. Good luck with your application.

I’ve just done mine too, it wasn’t difficult, one warm up question, 1 behaviour around delivering at pace and 3 strengths.

Did anyone have any problems answering the questions? I received a call while I was doing the interview on my phone and couldn’t answer the last question

I completely messed up. I was expecting a question 5 and 6 as that’s what it said on the screen at the beginning of my interview. Q5 was show us your ID which I didn’t have ready as I was expecting to answer a question. I had to leave the screen and go looking for my passport all whilst the timer was counting down. Then I couldn’t remember what else I needed to show. Completely waffled my way through the questions even forgetting what the actual questions were they were asking me. I’ll be lucky to make the reserve list!

I only showed my passport ID, it didn’t ask for anything else after that. I’m sure if you didn’t have time to show your ID they will just ask for it another time.

I'm still waiting to hear back, was hoping we'd hear back this week as they said interview results will be released mid Jan but nothing yet. 😪

No not heard anything back either. It’s a long waiting game that’s for sure. 😩

I’m on reserve list with a score of 16

I’ve not seen anyone put they’ve had an offer?

Reply 35

I've been put on a reserve list too with an overall score of 15.

Reply 36

On the reserve list as well with a score of 12 lol. I guess this is exactly what they wanted to do. It doesn't sound like an exciting job and they know people will probably leave after some time so they need to have a backup plan.

I'm an EO and to be fair every department and role is different. You could end up being in some really interesting roles, it's all just based on what department needs staff at the time

Do you know if it’s the case that with bigger campaigns they will place everyone with a pass mark on the reserve list and offer the jobs from there?

I’m on the reserve list with score 15
