Communications AP comp

How about now? Don't want to be asking those ants for any grain.

Huzzah!!

Next steps (Batman)
It says that selection methods may include:
Shortlisting
Competitive preliminary interview
Remote interview
Completion of online questionnaire
Presentation or other exercises
Final competitive interview
Work sample/ role play/ media exercise etc

Given the wide window for video interview, I wonder if there was shortlisting. It would suggest not.

At a guess, I would say video interview,( then possibly some sort of test) and then a live interview.

It's possible that one question is a shortlist question. Usually it's leadership but in this case possibly the communications question itself? I know in previous competitions they told you that though so maybe not.
Yes I would have thought you need to pass all the questions.
Given the long window, I would say maybe 400 videos, whittle to 200 maybe, then shortlist those from forms to 100 or in any event approx 100 for interview with a panel of 40 or so? With less than 20 depts, all of which already have press offices, and agencies who often have their comms at HEO, how many Communications AP would you think are needed? Hope I'm being pessimistic but with a longer panel than that, unless it's open ended, I can't see much beyond that (40 or so) being drawn even of they were to make a massive panel.
It would be great if the panel was double that and everyone in every agency and dept was prepared to professionalise like that, here is hoping but definitely not expecting.
