    Nope... I'm searching as internal, and it only goes down as far as a G6 stg 3.

    Hey everyone, just got back from my interview.
    There were two on the panel and they asked me questions around the 5 competencies, nothing that didn't fit but only because I literally matched every point on the framework lol..
    From memory they were :
    Give me a time you have had to communicate with impact
    Give me a time you have had to give direction
    A time when you have managed performance over a period of time (think I forgot to mention the time scale on mine though, lol)
    A time when you have presented a professional image of an organisation
    A time when you have had to tailor your service to a customer

    They only me asked me a couple of follow up's one completely floored me 'what have you learnt' - I couldn't think of anything, obviously now I can think of loads of things, lol

    AND TO WANDAFISH - THERE WAS NOOOOOOO TEST!!!!

    Hope that helps someone :)


    Thanks for this KT. Which area were you interviewed for? The 'tailor your service to a customer'.....what comp would you say that relates to folks???! Im a bit thrown by that one! :o
