I interviewed at Cefas (Weymouth, Dorset, South West England, England)
Interview
Straight forward civil service style, friendly and relaxed and quite fun in the end. Not keen on SRAR style but prepare in advance, examples and practices can be found online. Technical skills will also be tested.
I think the interview was very professional and the panel was very nice and polite to me. My advice for the people getting to the interview stage to reall prepare. Read about how civil service interviewi g people and that there are stages of the the interview that you will have to pass and try to use STAR system when you have situational questions like „when was the last time…” „ tell me about the time „
Good luck guyss!
