anyone been interviewed for a job with DWP recently?

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

am going through the process of filling in forms and doing online test but from what I have read the interviews sound very scary, if you have had one what was it like and what did they ask? and did you have to do the tests again?

I had one about 18 months ago for the Pensions agency part. of DWP. There were 2 interviewers, very friendly, asked competency type questions e.g. Can you give an example of when you worked well as part of a team, an example of when you delivered good service. I had some answers prepared for this type of question. Interview was about 40 minutes. Hope that helps

Hi Step I work for DWP and have interviewed external candidates for jobs. We're not scary at all and our interviews aren't either. Please feel free to PM me for advice. Happy to help.

Thanks both of you Busters I will take up your offer if I get through the test to interview stage fingers crossed

Ok Step best of luck!!
