Stay at home lone parent-what experience for DWP admin job?

[jenwyn]

A friend is desperately trying to fill in the application for an Admin job at DWP.She will be able to do it but doesn't have the necessary work related experience to show.She has done some office work on the side which was successful but obviously cant own up to this. She has otherwise been a stay at home mum and is being pushed by the jobcentre to start looking for work.
Can anyone help with what she can put on the application so she at lest gets as far as the interview stage.

Compentency has always been part of the DWP interview ..not AO but Definately EO

Competency based interviews have not always been - you used to sit an entrance exam for EO/Band C above.

My Band B (AO) interview was not competence based - I was asked what I thought unemployment benefit was and what I thought about YTS (shows age!!!)

The OP's friend will have been sent advice on completing the form with the application pack.
