I applied online. I interviewed at Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview was very chilled and panel made you feel welcomed as soon as I was picked up from reception and taken into the interview room. Format was a presentation and then competency questions.

Interview
The interview took place online via Teams and was very simple and straightforward. The panel consisted of 2 managers.
Was asked a 'warm-up' question about why I'm interested in the position, which they said wouldn't be graded, then 3 questions based on the competencies being assessed (delivering at pace, managing a quality service, collaborating & partnering), and they told me the order the questions would be in at the start of the interview.
They were happy to talk about the role and different progression paths.
