I’m currently a civil servant at HEO level and have been applying for SEO roles in my department and other departments. I’m keen to stay in my department if possible though.
I’m starting to feel deflated as I’ve now had 3 interviews in my department for temporary roles (EOIs) and, although I’ve made an effort to learn from each interview and improve my performance each time, and the feedback has been more positive each time, I don’t feel closer to securing a role. I realise it’s also a difficult jobs market.
I just got feedback today for an interview last week, where I scored 4, 5 and 5 on the 3 behaviours and 3 on the strength question.
Very grateful for any advice and encouragement please, as I was really keen on this role - and the previous one I applied for - and am worried a similar interesting opportunity in my department won’t come around any time soon.
