Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Defra (Bristol, Inghilterra) nel mese di gen 2017
Colloquio
This was a competency interview. On my application form I had given answers to 5 competencies, I knew in advance that the questions would focus on these examples. In the interview they merely asked me to expand on the competency examples I had already given, and later i received feedback and marks out of 7 for each of my answers. Its quite challenging to tailor your answers to tick their competency boxes and score marks.
