What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?
Don't think you won't be suitable for the role because you know nothing about defence or the forces. They are more interested in your attitude and approach to different problems and the ways in which you enjoy working.
Do you have any interview tips?
Don't worry about what you don't know and concentrate on selling yourself and the different skills you have. There's no requirement for any previous knowledge/experience in the area so it's up to them to worry where you will fit in. Questions were mostly focused on how you would approach solving theoretical problems (remember to mention considering how your approach would affect others!)
