I am very happy with these vidios as I am preparing for an interview with HO. I have been through an interview in the past with HO and I haven't been successuful as I didn't know wthat to expect and how to answer the questions. Thank you
I find a lot of working in the civil service revolves around being very self aware, not just about your contribution but yourself as a whole and the impact you have on others around you, too. I kind of really like that.
I discovered your channel when I was struggling with this competency. Pleased to report that your videos helped me have a successful g7 interview & I have since recommended to quite a few people. Thank you!
I love this. I've subscribed. There aren't many resources on TH-cam for civil service job interview preparation. So this is a gem! Please do more (I'm currently in my second year working at the civil service at a junior level, looking to apply for other jobs but needed guidance on how to structure answers)!!!!
Thanks for subscribing and I'm glad you liked them :) I will be doing more videos on other behaviours but are there any other topics for videos that you would find helpful?
@@JacWilliamsVideo I do like what you said in another video (when you reached a benchmark level of subscribers) about looking to do videos on personal finance and possibly investing. I've currently just started investing via Vanguard and I want to learn a lot more about that area- it's definitely not something we're taught at school growing up in the UK in mainstream education. I would also love other videos on other behaviours too!!! :D
This was soooooo helpful Jac! I've been going round in circles, wrestling with this behaviour and your video has just made it incredibly simple - fell a bit of an idiot but at least now think I can write a good behaviour on this - thanks VERY much!!
Hi Jac, loving the videos. A friend who works in the CS suggested I watch as I'm applying for a role within CPS. I am stuck on the 'Seeing the Big Picture' as it asks what skills I would hope to gain if successful. Do I need to answer using STAR? Thanks
Hi Jac! Your videos have been extremely useful for my interviews so a big thanks. However, I seem to get confused on this particular behaviour (seeing the big picture). What is the best way to link the impact of strategic goals/ objectives of the organisation with own performance/ work? I've got two more interviews scheduled in the coming days and any tips would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks for the great videos, Jac. They give me a new perspective as I prepare to have another go at a promotion to Grade 7. P.S. We can tell you're not really a government analyst, though. If you were, you wouldn't have a mac in your background... ;-)
Hi, does anyone know how long do I have to wait to hear back from the CS after the interview?? And thanks a lot for your videos Jac, they are really helpful!

Love to see it - congrats!

Congrats and well done!!!! I found out this week that I've been successful in applying for a G7 post too.
Thanks for your video Jac to help me get my head around what is a tricky behiour to understand and enable me to write an example of this behaviour
You've put this soo basically! Thank you, Jac :)
You're welcome :)
The 5 Why's is a problem solving technique, didn't ever think to use it outside of that function really.

You're welcome Amanda, good luck!

Thank you for this video...I used your examples to apply for a job in the moj and have just got an interview 👍🏼

Awesome!
Note to self: Smile more in videos :)
Isn't neccesary. Your content is just right !

Really great video, enjoyed it, thanks and o think you were spot on with your explanation.
Thanks a lot Ali
These videos helped me so much! I ended up getting the offer for an assistant forensic psychologist role and accepted it!
Awesome news, congrats
@@JacWilliamsVideo thank you so much, the videos really made the difference
Brilliant video Jac!
Can you give some examples of Strength Questions for Seeing the Big Picture? Thanks!
Hi Jac, great video and advice. If you update this video I'd add something to the "why" questions: "how."
Good shout :)
Awesome video.
Thank you Jac
No problem 👍
Really excellent videos Jac!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for these videos. How about something that covers Government Statistical Services (GSS)?
Hi is it possible if u can do a video in leadership for the civil service. I found your videos very interesting and helpful. Thank you 😊
Great video Jac really helpful
Glad you think so!
Do you have a video on how to structure a behavioural answer and actual examples?
Brilliant stuff
Great video. Try and cover the other behaviours too!
Anyone’s in particular?

Hi Jac, loving the videos. A friend who works in the CS suggested I watch as I'm applying for a role within CPS. I am stuck on the 'Seeing the Big Picture' as it asks what skills I would hope to gain if successful. Do I need to answer using STAR? Thanks
Hey, probably not STAR for that no. It sounds like they're more interested in hearing about what you want to get out of the role for that behaviour.
@@JacWilliamsVideo Ahh, I understand! Thank you Jac.
How do you stick to boundaries
Thanks so much for this, extremely clear and useful!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Hi Jac your videos are great I have a recorded interview how does that work
Hi Jac! Your videos have been extremely useful for my interviews so a big thanks. However, I seem to get confused on this particular behaviour (seeing the big picture). What is the best way to link the impact of strategic goals/ objectives of the organisation with own performance/ work?

Brilliant guide
Thanks Matthew :)
How can a foreigner get a civil service job in USA?
how do we do competencies at SEO level?
I'm an SEO so my videos are speaking to that grade and below.
@@JacWilliamsVideo your video helped me prepare for my first ever Grade 7 interview and I was successful 😊
Are you at SEO level? Well Done!! Excellent videos!
Yes I am. Thank you :)
Really helpful. Can you do one for making effective decision?
I'll try and think of some tips for that one :)
Thanks for the great videos, Jac. They give me a new perspective as I prepare to have another go at a promotion to Grade 7.
P.S. We can tell you're not really a government analyst, though. If you were, you wouldn't have a mac in your background... ;-)
haha you've caught me out Mike!
All the best Mike. I just got a G7 role. Thankfully it was my first application at this grade. Jac's video really helped me
Hi Jac, are the interviews pre-recorded?
hey! Not from my experience no.
Hi, does anyone know how long do I have to wait to hear back from the CS after the interview??
And thanks a lot for your videos Jac, they are really helpful!
Varies by department but usually 1-2 weeks. Thanks!
I paused!
Yes Steve! haha
