    How long after applying will we hear anything?
    And what type of stuff do they ask you in the interview?

    Hi,

    After the applications closing date, you will receive information into your public jobs account about Stage 1.

    Please be aware the application you submit now (known as Form A) doesn't really come up until the Interview, but take it seriously, because they may refer to what you write on it in the interview.

    In regards to the stuff the ask in the interview, it's competency based, so you will receive information in advance and have to prepare answers for it. For example it may be "resilience" and you will get asked questions to prove your competency on that in the interview. I won't go into more details, there is plenty of "Stage 3" threads you can look through on this forum which is the interview part and you can see lots of information there.

    I’d say focus and practice for stage 1/2 first. Can be tricky.
    For the interview you will get 4/5 competencies to prep before hand. They will ask qs about work/ college/ life experiences / volunteer work etc

    Any advice on where I could practice? I did find come stuff online, but I don't know how good they are? I don't fancy spending time on something that will be no help at all.

    I did the career services one last year.. in fact think I did all of their stuff and it definitely paid off! The lower your OOM for the campaign the faster everything goes in the process (on top of increasing chances of success) so worth a shot :)

    Oh nice! Yeah I heard they're great! But unfortunately I can't afford their course atm. So you did their training and passed all stages? That's my dream!

    Yep did theirs for stage 1,2 and 3 and passed everything, just waiting on next intake now! It can be an expensive process if doing the courses but just keep aiming for the best OOM you can get and if it’s meant to be it’ll happen! :)
