I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lincolnshire Police (Lincoln, England)
Interview
There really is not a better place to interview.
The interview process is easy, mostly based on personal questions with a few technical questions at the end.
While in this instance I was not offered a job, they went above and beyond with the feedback, highlighting exactly how I should rephrase my answers and what they're looking for in answers for future interviews.
The interview lasted around 30 minutes with two interviewers. Questions mainly based around team work, working under pressure, how you would prioritise workload. Asked you to tell them a bit about yourself so they could get to know you as a person as well.
The interview process was straight forward with competency based questions. Focussed a lot on Lincolnshire as a geographical area as well as wanting to know how you dealt with stressful and fast paced situations

Can you tell me about a time when you took the initiative at work and it didn't turn out as you hoped?
