I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Home Office (Bootle, Merseyside, North West England, England) in May 2017
Interview
Long winded application process and gruelling interview carried out by two people. They seemed nice as pie initially, then became quite intimidating and very pressing during the interview. I felt like I was being interrogated at certain points - not a nice feeling.
Recorded interview, four minutes to answer each behaviour question. How quickly the four minutes passed threw me and my first answer wasn’t great as a result. Practise your answers in four minutes beforehand
Online, 3 tests, launchpad interview. There were 2 behaviour and 3 strengths questions. I prepared using the information from the advert. I waited 3 months and was put on reserve list, then offered the job.
Very welcoming. Easy welcoming process and made to feel at ease and very comfortable. A memorable experience - now got to wait and see if I have got the job!
