Pathways to planning 2026

Thought I’d start a thread! Did the video interview today and found the questions surprisingly difficult. How about everyone else?

I don’t think it’s fair to others to share what the questions were but they relate to the competencies. More scenario based than motivational I’d say.

Heya eleanor, I’d agree. One question was what I’d expect, but i think it was second one that was very specific and not sure how they’d assess. Going by what usual competency questions are like, these were a bit more wordy and could throw some people off, so I’m assuming the their marking would reflect that.
But yeah I was expecting one or two liner questions, not a paragraph with follow up questions 😂 all to be answered in 2mins

Yeah exactly! So many points to address in 120 seconds. Would’ve loved a q which was more personal to our interests/understanding of the role. Oh well. Did our best so no point dwelling too much

Did you run out of time in any of the questions?i Was frustrated as the follow up questions took time away from focusing on answer the main question. Not to reveal too much, but the follow up questions could be interpreted differently by people - either a way to consolidate the main ask of the question, or to add further to your planned structure. Either way, unnecessary for a short window of answering

I think I ran out of time on the final q slightly. The fact that I had to keep scrolling up and down to look at the question, the bullet points and the timer definitely put me off slightly and that was on MacBook, so I can only imagine how tricky that’d be on tablet. I completely understand why they’ve done it, to get personal experiences and make sure people can’t use AI to think up an answer but yeah I feel like there’s no right or wrong way to answer those, which means the marking will be super subjective

What were the questions ?

I'm through too, well done Eleanor and ktjsc 🙂 - I went to book a slot but then the page glitched and now I can't get back onto it. Is anyone else having this too?
