The blended interview will assess the essential experience, behaviours and strengths associated with the role. We want to hear your first, unrehearsed, natural response to the strength questions, and so we dont advertise which strengths are being tested. The best way to prepare for strengths questions is to reflect on what you identify as your own personal strengths, and your preferred ways of working.
Candidates may refer to notes within their interview but they should be used as a prompt only.
