Civil Service Job Interview

Hi all
I had a grade 7 interview yesterday which included a presentation (I was given the brief 45 minutes before the interview). I think I did OK in the presentation but I completely messed up the behaviours - think complete and utter brain freeze!
I was wondering if anyone has interviewed in the civil service using assessment and behaviours and what tends to have more bearing for you?
I've made my peace with the fact it'd take a miracle to be offered the job but I'm just intrigued.
Thank you

I interview for G7s, in general if you're below the line on anything you fail I'm afraid. 

They will have been looking for evidence of the behaviours during your presentation too, so if you gave examples of leading, improving, change etc they will count towards your score. 

You also just never know, there are so many vacancies in some areas we look desperately hard for evidence to pass you. 

Good luck, shouldn't take long for you to hear.

Thank you so much for that, that's really helpful
