Yes. It could be you were just 'pipped' by a slightly better candidate, last time. Rejection doesn't mean you're not good enough - it just means that you weren't the best candidate at that time. |

Definitely apply again. I got rejected for the first civil service post I applied for so applied for another lower post. Got that and never looked back. Twenty odd years later and I was running the north west division. NEVER give up!! X |

If you get stuck on a question use the glass of water as a diversion. It will give u valuable seconds to calm yourself and think of the best answer (tho shaky hands are a no no lol)thoroughly prepare ( the old communicstion, team player, what can you bring to this role responses- so you are super confident. ) in the current climate expect a few questions about value for money. Good luck. |

I applied to be an inspector at one of their agencies, got selected to attend a selection weekend with other candidates, to be informed that although I was capable of doing the job based on my knowledge and experience, I would not fit into the organisation, as it would be akinned to trying to fit a round peg to a square hole.
When I heard about whom they had selected from the group of interviewees, I could understand why I would not fit in, as I am to jolly and easy to please etc.
I gave up the idea of being an inspector for the government after that and have not regrets.
