I applied online. I interviewed at Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview took place online via Teams and was very simple and straightforward. The panel consisted of 2 managers.
Was asked a 'warm-up' question about why I'm interested in the position, which they said wouldn't be graded, then 3 questions based on the competencies being assessed (delivering at pace, managing a quality service, collaborating & partnering), and they told me the order the questions would be in at the start of the interview.
They were happy to talk about the role and different progression paths.
