UK civil servant competencies

Post date: 2018-02-18 06:48:05

Hi, I'm applying for a grade 6 data scientist role in the civil service in the UK. It is my first application for a civil service role, there are a lot of hoops to jump through when it comes to the application. Does anyone have experience or any good resources for writing good examples for the competencies (this is specific to the UK civil service)?

For this particular job I have to write a max 2 page cover letter covering my background and which also addresses five particular competencies, which is a lot to fit in. I have plenty of examples in which I try to cover the (many) points required. I've used this mainly so far. I have used STAR technique, I'm mainly having problems assessing how good my examples are.

I'm considering paying an online service to help me.
