What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

The application process for this role was quite rigorous and was actually one of the most challenging I have been a part of. There were a few stages, such as a phone interview, followed by an assessment centre with a group task, presentation and two separate interviews: motivational and practical. The advice I would give in particular for the presentation is do your research and look at what the council is currently doing in key business areas. I also think it is important to show that you have a genuine interest in working in the public sector and in particular which area of the council you would like to go into.

Do you have any interview tips?

The best advice for the interview is to be prepared and don't be afraid to be honest. One of the questions was what is your biggest failure? It is important here to give a true reflection, but also explain how you have learnt from this. Again, the most important thing for the interview is to be aware of the council's current policies in each of the four business areas and to show a real interest in the organisation, as well as the wider public sector. If you have an interview you probably already have many of the competencies required for the role.
