The Unofficial Civil Service Guides

Part 3: Interviews

Securing a role in the Civil Service can be daunting, with applicants often facing challenges related to awareness, confidence, confusion, aspiration, access, and execution. We understand these barriers all too well from our personal experiences of trying to get into the civil service.

In our experience, Civil Service interviews are something we all love to hate. Why? Because their structure, questions and scoring are unlike interviews in most other sectors!

That’s why we've created this resource to help aspiring and existing civil servants better understand how interviews work, and how to do well in them.

This includes advice on:

  • How interviews (typically) run in the Civil Service
  • What types of questions you're likely to be asked
  • What you can do before, during and after an interview to increase your chances of success
