    Added some of my views for what they are worth. They may have changed the format for the interview since I did it (8 years ago) but they should stick to the script.

    Remember they will assessing you from the moment you step in the door so few things to remember,

    1. Walk in confidently
    2. Introduce yourself by name.
    3. Shake each panel member by the hand and keep eye contact ( their name should be written in front of them)
    4. Use first names for the civilians but address the garda member by his/her title ( Inspector , Superintendent etc)
    5. Don’t take a seat until they offer you one
    6. Take your time
    7. Answer the questions directly , don’t waffle
    8. If you don’t understand the question , ask them to repeat it
    9. Drink the water , your throat will get dry because you are nervous and it will give you time to compose yourself and think
    10. Make sure you are dressed smartly , hair combed , clean finger nails etc
    11. Keep your hands on your lap in front of you (don’t be waving them all over the place)
    12. At the end of the interview they will ask if you have any questions Have one at least……. E.G how long will the process take in order to progress to the next stage / will you be notified by email/ letter or phone call etc
    13. Last but not least you want to leave them with an excellent impression , so before leaving , shake each one by the hand and thank them for their time and for the wonderful opportunity to attend for interview. You need to stand out from the other 50 or so applicants they will see or have seen on that day
