Here’s the FULL LIST of 16 PRISON OFFICER INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

Q1. Why do you want to become a Prison Officer?

SUGGESTED ANSWER:

“I want to become a prison officer for three reasons. The first reason is, I want a challenging role where no two days are the same. I am the type of person who gets the most job satisfaction from a job where I am constantly challenged, where I have to think on my feet and also where I get to communicate with people on a daily basis. The second reason is, I want a job that is a match for my own skills and qualities. I am confident, I can communicate well, and I am also resourceful. I understand these three qualities form part of what is required to be a competent prison officer. Finally, I want a job where I have to work as part of a team with other like-minded professionals. I feel I would enjoy working as part of a team where you have to follow strict rules and procedures. Those are the three main reasons why I want to become a prison officer.”

SUGGESTED ANSWER

“I will have a large number of responsibilities as a prison officer, including getting a brief from my governor and also making sure I follow strict rules and procedures at all times. I will also be required to check prison cells, confiscate items from prisoners, check regularly prisoner numbers, let prisoners out for exercise, and also advise prisoners what they need to do if they have a problem or a dispute. I will also need to use effective communication and interpersonal skills to de-escalate situations and also to help rehabilitate a prisoner’s life. I will work with people from all different types of backgrounds and situations. No two days will ever be the same and I will need to be prepared to work unsociable hours and also at weekends”

RICHARD MCMUNN’S 5 TOP INTERVIEW TIPS!

Over the years, Richard McMunn has helped literally thousands of people from around the world to successfully pass their job interviews. Below, he has provided you with his top 5 tips for interview success to make sure you ACE YOUR INTERVIEW! 

INTERVIEW TIP #1 – Use You Interview Preparation Time Wisely

I see it time and time again, people worry or panic about their upcoming interview. The truth is, there really is no need to panic. During your interview preparation, prepare answers to the common types of interview questions and also make sure you practice a mock interview (see tip 5 below).

INTERVIEW TIP #2 – Overcoming Interview Nerves.

Having nerves prior to, and during your interview, is normal. The interview panel will expect a certain amount of nerves and they will take these into account when interviewing you. However, there are a couple of things to remember:

(i). The interview is your opportunity to shine and there is absolutely no point in worrying.

(ii). You have nothing to lose by being confident and giving it your all. The worst that can happen is, you don’t get the job, and you then simply apply for another one and start over. Be yourself, have confidence in your abilities and go for it!

INTERVIEW TIP #3 – Dress to Impress and Work on Interview Technique

Answering the interview questions forms only a small part of the assessable criteria. The interview panel have to like you, and your interpersonal skills will count for a lot! So, even if you can’t answer an interview questions, your personality might make up for it. On that basis, make an effort and dress smart for your interview.

INTERVIEW TIP #4 – Good Manners go a LONG WAY!

Good manners are not that commonplace in society these days. However, they can go a long way to impressing the interview panel. Focus on a firm handshake, don’t sit down in the interview chair until invited to do so, and most importantly, smile during your interview.

INTERVIEW TIP #5 – Carry Out a MOCK INTERVIEW

Prior to your interview, carry out a mock interview and practice all of the interview questions on this page – I promise if you do, you will be far better prepared than the vast majority of candidates. Good luck!
