We appreciate the time and effort that goes into applying for a job and give every application the attention it deserves. However, in cases where there is a high number of applications, the shortlisting pass mark may need to be adjusted and candidates will be invited to interview in merit order, i.e., those scoring the highest.

Should you be invited to interview, you will be assessed using various assessment techniques which will seek to gain a better understanding of your behaviours, competencies, and values in line with those outlined in the advert.

At present, the majority of our interviews are being conducted by Video Conference unless a practical assessment is required i.e., Carpenter roles

You may not have done an interview before or perhaps you just need a refresher. Careers Wales has lots of useful information regarding Interview Techniques that you may find helpful here
