Workbook description - WB0124
The Mastering answers for capability-based interviews in the Civil Service workbook is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to help you prepare answers for interviews using the new Civil Service Capability Framework. It would particularly suit you if you are preparing for a Civil Service competition, such as EO, AO, HEO, or AP via publicjobs.ie.
The new Capability Framework brings a significant change to how interviews are conducted in the Civil Service. These new interviews are focused more broadly on you as a person, which means that you will be doing a different type of preparation. Interviewers will ask about your examples, expertise, skills, strength, knowledge, values, motivation and interests. This workbook will guide you through what you need to do to be fully prepared for your interview. The workbook is a PDF that you will download to use.
In it you will find:
- Tips, templates, lists and prompts that guide you through preparing your answers.
- Clear explanations of each of the the Capability Framework's capability dimensions and subdimensions at each grade.
- Maps of how the new capability dimensions match some of the competencies in the previous competency model, which will be helpful for those already familiar with those competencies.
- Suggestions of tasks or projects you could consider including in your examples for each capability dimension (at each grade).
- Lists to help you select your relevant behavioural examples, skills, strength, knowledge, values, motivation and interests.
- Sample questions and worked examples of answers, to help you be best prepared for your interview.
