[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 81955, member: 3943"] Hi Rachel - sorry I really can't remember. I don't think that there are any technical q's - they might ask you about your motivations for the GLD and what you know about it (in fact I'm fairly sure they do). It's a fairly standard format, you might have a minute to prepare?? Or 30s? I think there were 3-4 questions. They want to know clearly about your motivations for working in the public sector, in government law and in the GLD/HMRC/NCA etc. I think that there may have been one about teamwork? If you look carefully at the GLD job itself, the questions are all targeted around those skills. The best advice I can give is to make a grid with each competency listed out, define it for yourself and then think of 2-3 examples where you can really demonstrate it. Write each in a STAR format. Then practise reeling them off so that you can adapt your 'story' to fit the brief. It's all the usual things: work ethic, energy and enthusiasm, time management, independence within a chain of command, responsibility, teamwork, communication... I think that they list the competencies on the GLD website? And remember that you are basically going for a role as a civil servant so you need to be really measured, discreet, fairly apolitical (in relation to your professional role at least), versatile, etc etc. Good luck!
