I believe they are a suitable match for my own experience, but my own attributes and also my career ambitions.

Let's move on to the next question.

What do you expect?

The best and the most challenging parts of working in the civil service will be now.

Personally, I've worked in the public sector for many, many years.

There are some brilliant aspects to it, but there are also some challenging aspects.

However, you have to be very careful how you respond to this question.

Here's my suggestion.

Answer for you.

I expect the best elements of working within the civil service to be the fact you get the opportunity to make a significant difference to people's lives on the communities in which you are serving on representing through your work.

I would also imagine the best parts of being able to collaborate with the many different departments within the civil service due to the vastness of the organization.

In respect to the challenging parts, I feel these might be the facts that it can potentially take a long period of time to get approval for innovative plans on ideas to be agreed.

However, this is to be expected due to the size of the civil service, but also the fact that you are responsible for taxpayers finances on On that basis, they must be spent wisely.

So that is a It's a mature response to the question you know, the good parts, but you are aware of the challenging parts.

However, you understand that they are all part and parcel of working in the civil service.

The next question explain a situation you were in where you have to juggle lots of tasks all at once.

So this is this is assessing your ability to carry out lots of work in different tasks or at once.

It's an important part of working in the civil service.

You'll have loads of different tasks to do so they want to know a situation.

When you were already in that position, you have already done it.

So here's my suggested answer to that question.

In my previous role as an administrator, another department asked my manager if I would work for them.

In addition to my own duties and responsibilities, basically to cover sickness absence for a four week period, I informed my manager that I was happy to take on the additional work to help out the other department.

During this four week period, I literally had to manage to lots of workloads, and I achieved each task by remaining calm, prioritizing each task as and when it landed on my desk, and also by asking for assistant from other members of the team as and when I needed it at the end of the four week period.

I was very pleased about the fact I managed to complete all tasks from currently and helped out the department during their time of need.

I actually feel I'm very good at juggling talks, and I'm happy to take on extra work as and when required whilst working for the Civil Service is what you're doing at the end of your qualifying.

The fact that you're prepared to do extra tox tasks and you actually feel that you shine during that particular aspect when you have to take on lots of work.

So that's a good answer to that question.

Let's take a look at another Civil Service interview question.

Tell me about the time when you act to influence a manager or a supervisor.

Really difficult question.

Tell me about a time when you have to influence a manager or supervisor because working in the civil service, they want everybody to contribute and put forward ideas.

Eso If you've got a really good innovative idea, you want to be able to put it forward, an influential manager in a respectful and positive way to.

Here's my suggested answer.

In a previous job, I was part of a working group.

There was tasked with assessing overall company performance.

It was our job to assess the performance of the company with a view to coming up with innovative ways to improve the business long term.

Whilst working with other members of the working group, I came up with the suggestion for improving the efficiency of the business throughout sorting.

Basically, my suggestion was to utilize external experts on contractors to carry out specific tasks that were normally completed internally.

I put forward my suggestion on behalf of the working group to my manager, and initially she was understandably skeptical.

However, once I had delivered an in depth power point presentation to her that included the key benefits of the plan, she agreed to give it a try for a three month period.

After the trial period was over, it was decided to make the outsourcing suggestion permanent because it was so successful at increasing efficiency on also reducing company costs overall.

So that's a good way that you've demonstrated respectfully, that you put forward a suggestion on.

Then you have influenced your manager by giving them additional information.

But more importantly, you are identifying the key benefits of your suggestion, which is really important during a persuasive argument.
