22 Civil Service Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Why do you want to work for the Civil Service and what can you, specifically, bring to the role?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“The Civil Service is an exemplary organisation that sets itself high standards. Having studied the competences required to perform this role, I believe they are a suitable match for my own experience, attributes and ambitions. I am someone who can work to very high standards, can collaborate seamlessly with others, can carry out lots of tasks all at once, and I am also able to embrace and adapt to change as and when required. I want to work in an organization that is continually leaning, growing and developing and I would also like to work for an organization that gives its staff the opportunity to thrive and develop within their role. I believe the Civil Service is the organization that will allow me to fulfill my career ambitions and I would look forward to spending may years within this team, if I am successful at interview today.”
Q2. What do you expect the best and most challenging parts of working in the Civil Service will be?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I expect the best elements of working within the Civil Service to be the fact that you get the opportunity to make a significant difference to people’s lives and the communities in which you are serving and representing through your work. I would also imagine the best parts are being able to collaborate with so many different departments within the Civil Service due to the vastness of the organization. In respect of the challenging parts, I feel these might be the fact that it can potentially take a long period of time to get approval for innovative plans and ideas to be agreed. However, this is to be expected due to the size of the Civil Service and also the fact that you are responsible for tax payers’ finances, and on that basis, they must be spent wisely. “
