Civil service graduate recruitment

Hello, I am currently going through the GSR civil service mainstream recruitment process and my interview is in just under a month. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or tips to help me in the interview or to prepare for it? Thanks! :smile:

Hi my daughter is in the civil service (graduated from Durham last year).
I asked her for advice and she said this:
Make sure you prepare - write examples for the behaviours they are asking for and make sure you check the Civil Service criteria for what they are looking for for each behaviour and tick those all off. Make sure the examples are clear to understand and STAR structured. Remember follow up questions to your behaviours are to help you jump through all the hoops not to catch you out. Revise social research methods and things to consider like ethics and methodological risks.
