AIBU to ask if someone could read over my answers for a job application? Applying for Civil Service HEO role.

[LGAargh]

Hi all,

I’m preparing an application for a role in the Civil Service at HEO (higher executive officer) level, which is a grade above my current level (EO - executive officer).

I was just wondering if anyone may be able to read over my answers to the behaviour questions for the application, please?

Thanks so much! :)

Bump :)

Would anyone mind reading over it, please?

I can't read over as I'm away, but have you used STAR and the competencies to answer? I always found them useful even with the new format.

I’m not civil service but we use similar assessment process and I think HEO salary is equivalent to our grade C staff.

I’m happy to look as I appoint regularly but depends how ‘brutal’ you want the review to be and whether it’s already submitted. If you want reassurance rather than critique, I might not be best person.

You might also ask your line manager to review it as internal support and patronage far outweighs a random stranger commenting. Most bosses want their team to grow and be promoted and are flattered to be asked for help.

PM if you want me to look.

Ours is NDGB type organisation.
