I interviewed at Civil Service Fast Stream (London, England)
Interview
Assessment centre:
The first task was a written advice task on a policy area. The second task involved a stakeholder communication. The final task was a Personal development conversation (interview) where they asked about strengths, weaknesses and motivation to join the fast stream
Online questions, additional information, assessment centre then final board. Online questions were standard but took quite a long time and were repetitive. Final board was more interesting and is the only stage which is scheme-specific.
Assessment involved looking at a sample case and summarising the details in a brief. Interview required you to talk about your plan of action if there were issues with government policies.
