I would also love to have this list, if anyone has some advice on strengths based interviews please PM me

The Civil Service often does competency and strength based interviews and I remember looking up lots of practice questions online so that might be a good place to start for some examples! Though of course, the skills may vary due to differences in job specification!

Anyone else whose CC application has not even been updated?

Mine hasn't since the day after I passed the WG (13th)

Same, feels painful seeing others getting invited but having zero clue on what's happening with your application...

@George Maxwell do you have any tips for preparing for the Slaughter and May interview?

Hi @hhh,

Welcome to the forum! I look forward to hearing more from on here 🚀. It is always great to see new members posting!

In answer to your question, myself, @Jessica Booker and @AvniD provided some advice on strength-based questions here.

I would also recommend checking out TCLA's question bank (as Avni linked in her post I link to) which will allow you to see the types of questions to expect and to practice (as this really is the secret to successful interviewing!).

Do tag me and/or the rest of the team if you would like any further help or guidance!

Thank you so much for this! I will definitely reach out if I have any other questions
