Civil Service Interview Hacks To Help You Get Hired.

The number one mindset key that you must get your head around when preparing for an interview is that the requirements of the Civil Service interview process are not the same as the private sector.

I can not count the number of times l have given the phone an eye roll when I hear Americanised tips and questions given out purporting to be Civil Service Interview tips.

Asking questions such as:
* Do you have any concerns about hiring me?🤔
* Tell me about the last time you fired someone? 🙄
* Give me three adjectives describing blah, blah, blah about the company? 🧐

Seriously, as a coach who has sat on interview panels, the consensus thought across for interviewers would be. Is this candidate seriously OK?

I urge you to use decernment to avoid embarrassment as this type of, I want to catch you out, shenigans could cost you the job offer.

Ditch the 'Go Get'em, I'm gonna get you' type of catchphrases and get prepped to have a professional adult conversation about how your behaviours, skills, knowledge, and expertise are a good fit for the role.

Landing your next opportunity depends on you to show up as the person who is established in the role.

I have seen too many great candidates like you get pipped to the post because you have misconstrued the process.

This is why I have created a 'Civil Service Interview Preparation checklist' and Ebook to help you ace and land your Civil Service Interview.

Are you tired of your applications being repeatedly rejected?

You are not going to want to hear this, but truth be told.

The issue that is disrupting you from landing a job offer is not access to job vacancies.

There are thousands of vacancies in your industry being advertised every day.

So what is stopping you from converting your applications to interviews and job offers even though you have found the right vacancies.

In my ten plus years supporting 100s of jobseekers to land rewarding roles in the civil service and public sector and also navigating my personal job search journey after being made redundant three times. I can tell you that one of the top factors blocking every time is your CV.

In fact, surveys indicate that 98% of applications per vacancy are rejected because the CV Resume is not up to specification.

That is why I have created my signature Dynamic CV Tool Kit to take the heavy lifting out of converting your applications to interviews.
