Behavioral Presentation

It's a pretty long hiring process. You'll need to fill out a detailed application where you have to explain how you meet specific competencies like communication and IT skills. Definitely think about your examples for these, because they'll ask you to discuss them in the interview. Since it was a national panel interview, there were a lot of other applicants there that day. Three interviewers were on the panel, and each one asked questions related to one or more of the competencies.

First, I had to send in my CV and a cover letter. Then, I completed a detailed online questionnaire about my skills and experience related to the job. The actual interview involved a panel of three people who asked competency-based questions. It was a standard competency interview format where each interviewer asked their assigned questions.
