I have a job interview this week, civil service, competency interview.
I know the competencies they are going to ask me on:
Seeing the big picture
Delivering at pace
Collaborating and partnering
Managing a quality service
The application needed clear demonstration of Professional expertise which I scored a level 4 - adequate demonstration. I don't know if they will ask more of this in the interview. If I score like this on them, the surely the positions available are going to go to people who give good demonstrations?
I'm struggling for examples. I haven't worked in years due to ill health. I have 2 children at school. I volunteered in school last year and I often help out with the PTA. I have recently completed a business administration qualification and am due to start an IT one at the end of April. My previous job was with a mortgage company (which I had to leave for ill health in 2004 but I remember it very clearly) and in 2006-2007 I went back to college and did my levels 2 and 3 TA qualifications whilst working in a classroom, breakfast club and after school club. I don't really want to be a TA though, my strength does lie in admin and everyone I know says I would be very good at it, even my tutor on the business admin course.
This is all very spread out though and I'm not sure I can think of relevent, up to date examples of these competencies.
Any help would be very appreciated please.
