How is "Experience" assessed in a civil service interview

[name674398]

Sorry if a stupid question, I know my way around behaviours and strengths, but this job only has experience and behaviours listed as the tested criteria in the application. I've obviously demonstrated experience with my CV, but wondering how it's assessed at interview- competency based questions maybe? Not sure how to prepare!

(Sorry for the somewhat duplicated thread)

I've had to do a few public sector interviews on both sides of the table. I would suggest for each competency, you have a few examples where you can give the situation, the task (what you had to achieve our the problem to solve), actions (what you did to overcome the problem or complete the task) and most importantly, and often missed out, the result. What changed as a result of the actions you took.

Acronyms are everything, and the acronym for this is be STAR - situation, task, action, result.

Good luck!
