    Ask a mod to move it for you if they see fit.
    Good luck with the job process.

    When is the Interview ?

    You need to do a bit of research on the Council - how much they spend, where they get their money, how many planning applications they receive/grant, how many are on the housing list etc. What is the single issue that faces the Council ?
    Know your own job and CV back to front.
    Have an opinion on current issues that affect the Council and national issues and be able to stand over your opinion. It doesn't have to be "correct" but you do need to stick to it !!
    Be able to demonstrate your competencies by way of examples.
    The interview board are there to get the best from you so you need to be prepared to be tested a bit by their questions. Don't get insulted or upset when they ask you difficult questions.
