Top 21 Civil Service Interview
Here’s the FULL LIST of the TOP 21 CIVIL SERVICE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed for this Civil Service position today. Before applying for the role, I studied the job description, the competencies, and the success profiles to ensure I had the skills and qualities to contribute positively to the organisation. I am diligent, hard-working, industrious, and an excellent problem solver who can easily fit into a team and collaborate on difficult tasks and projects. I have a proven track record of achievement in previous roles. For example, in my last job, I helped the company save more than £2,000 per year by finding an alternative office supplies company that was more cost-effective. Outside of work, I keep myself fit and active which helps to increase my speed of working and concentration levels when I am at work. If you employ me in this position, I will always be a positive role model for the organization, I will follow the relevant rules and procedures, and I will always support my co-workers in their duties and work towards the long-term goals of the Civil Service.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for the Civil Service?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I want to work for the Civil Service for several reasons. The first reason is, the Civil Service is an organisation that is constantly changing, evolving, and improving. I find this appealing because it means I will get to work on exciting projects, constantly learn new skills, and make a real difference to people’s lives, and their communities. I also want to work for the Civil Service because the career development opportunities are strong which means I will always be developing, and that fact that you offer flexible working hours tells me you are a forward-thinking organisation that supports its staff. Finally, the values and principles of the Civil Service are very much aligned to my own which makes me believe I will be very happy to work here for many years to come.”
