Hi!
I really wish there would be some suggestions as I’m going through application process as well

how did you do with yours?

Use the STAR format to answer your questions, cut out all the fluff and concentrate on providing detailed evidence of what you did and why and impacts etc. I'm a CS interviewer

Use the Star method. You need to focus on what you did. Give examples for evidence, so for the objective decision question say what options were possible and why you discounted some and went forward with the other.

@KristaG

Use the STAR method as suggested

It was a simple interview and richard mcmunn's videos (YouTube) on civil service job interviews helped a lot and I recommend you watch and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
