I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scottish Government (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Aug 2025
Interview
45 minutes of questions based on the success profiles listed in the job advert. Then an hour to complete a written exercise before another 15 minutes of questions. It felt intense but it followed a structure and I never felt like I was trying to be caught out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give an example of a time you used communication skills to engage stakeholders which resulted in a positive outcome. (Or something to that effect)
