CareerVidz thanks! Thanks for your help - much appreciated

Hi, Katie, I have an interview on 20th Feb ... could you please give me an idea about virtual reality exercise, also about interview pls

@Dominique Mudede well nobody is replying so I'm guessing they bombed the interview, how about you buddy any advice?

Thank you soooo much! Really appreciate your kind words and good luck with your new career as a police officer! :)

Thank you :) I do tend to use my hands a lot when I'm presenting. Have a fab week. All the best, Richard

I've got mine next month,any tips?!

@@laurenaj9947 what date is it on? They're changing the scheme next month. Is the day one assessment or a different interview?

@@S60ULX middle of march. It just says invite to assessmentre centre for one day.

@@laurenaj9947 do you have snapchat or anything I help you on there? Were not meant to speak about the day one once you've passed it and they give us a lecture about that. Need some privacy

@@S60ULX my emails laurenpiano123@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hi Paul, yes, I agree with you. If the interviewer is savvy enough they should ask 'probing questions' to make sure the situation is genuine. More and more interviewers are using probing questions following an answer now to get find out more. Cheers, Richard

Thank you :)

Thanks Samantha, It's relatively similar for Special Constable and yes, they are required to undergo an assessment. Here's the guide for Special's Interview: www.how2become.com/police-special-constable-interview/ All the best, Richard

@@cmd2709 they do but it's a different one to regs

Thanks Martin, if you email me a copy of the job spec for investigator, I will take a look and let you know what I think the questions are. If it's easier, connect with me on LinkedIn and I will give you my email there. All the best, Richard

You're welcome! When's your interview? :)

Hi Kathleen, thanks for your kind words. Try this page for PCSO: www.how2become.com/careers/police-community-support-officer/

Come on, it's not as hard as that! 😂

Thanks - my advice is to use different scenarios as this shows you have more experience. An updated video for the police interview is here for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zD-yCfWS0y4.html

You are welcome :) Thanks

No problem and thanks for commenting... It's hard to say without looking at the situations you plan to present - how2ever, I still feel it is possible to give specific/solid answers from non-work related scenarios. If you get the opportunity, try and do some voluntary/community work between now and the interview as I feel this type of work can give you some great experience. even if you volunteer to work for a couple of days in a homeless shelter/charity, this could be a positive thing and give you more situations to draw from. Good luck with your interview and I hope you pass :) Cheers, Richard

How did you do?! I have mine next week and I have little experience which seem to be similar to yours!x

Awesome! Thank you... :)

Hi James, yes... the values based questions are super-important now. My advice is to prepare specific responses based on values. I hope this helps. If you need any further help, give our new book on Amazon a try. This book covers the new selection: amzn.eu/d/ej06KZL Good luck, Richard.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi Barry, thanks for your email. I recommend speaking to my team via the website www.how2become.com/ to see what service we can provide you based on your feedback. We do have an ex-police assessor who you could potentially help you :) All the best, Richard

Are you gonna have cbp structured interview because the material you mentioned is the process I’m going through

Hi Rachael, thanks for your message - yes, I will add this to my list of videos to create :)

CareerVidz Thank you Richard!

I think one of the best responses is that you want to help others and create a safe environment for citizens to live within. (Also maybe say that you) believe that being a police officer is the best way to accomplish my goal.

Jennifer Anderson thank you for the best info I rlly appreciate you getting back to my message

No Problem good luck at your interview 😊

Ricky Strange did you pass?

Hi there, thanks for posting a question on our police officer interview video here on RU-vid. You can find out some great information on the transport police here: www.how2become.com/careers/british-transport-police/ I hope that helps, Richard :)

@@CareerVidz Thank you very much, I've brought the book before and I will keep going over it and gaining as much knowledge as I can. This is my first time at a assessment center and I want to prepare for it as much as possible before the date of the 30th September 2018. They haven't given us much information on the day of the assessment, since they said you'll get more details on it later and I believe they stated the 14th of September. Do you have any videos specifically for the British transport police? I think it'd be really beneficial for a video solely focused on the BTP, since they do things slightly more differently to other forces. I also wanted to inform you that the Ability test will probably be the stage I struggle at the most. I'm not very good at maths, but my English is really good. If I do poorly at maths, will that really effect the overall progression? Even if I did really well on the other parts. I don't think the maths questions will be that hard, I assume they are mostly basic.

Hi there, can you drop us an email at info@how2become.com and we will see if we can assist you? Many thanks, Richard

Hi Lee, thanks for your message :) I do have an online course for police interviews here: www.how2become.com/police-officer-final-interview-questions-and-answers/ I cover lots of general police officer interview questions with suggested answers. I hope it helps and good luck. Richard

Hey Richard thanks for your reply I had a look at your online 1 day course I’m in Manchester me so seeing what is your closest centre.

Hi, my advice would be to use different ones if possible :) Good luck!

@@CareerVidz thank you, appreciate it :)

Thanks for the feedback

@@CareerVidz As a a point of reference. Recently I applied for graduates jobs at schools. Some questions were "how would you organise your time" These are very silly and disrespectful questions for university graduates, because if you have been to a good university, whether Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Manchester or Imperial College, you cannot be successful in a degree at any level, unless you are very organised with your time. So employers should assume university graduates they interview, have all these general skills.. The same goes for experience with excel and computer word processing packages, like microsoft word or open office writer. I actually graduated in 1996 BSc Biochemistry. My memories of interviews then , was they didn't ask silly and patronising questions, because far fewer people went to university then,. Degrees meant more. A friend who also did geography at Aberdeen University, and spend a year on a ship doing geographical surveys, says he was given a very informal interview in 1996, and got the job. Few questions were asked,. They could see he was a bright university graduate and the ship was keen to leave harbor. Now, because far more people do degrees, degrees are treated like school exams by employers, even though a graduate with a good degree from a good university, has skills and knowledge, that are lightyears beyond those of school leavers, and the person being interviewed, gets asked naive and condescending questions. I blame the people doing the interviews, for not using common sense and thinking. Good universities still mean what they meant 25 years ago. But there are many 2nd rate 1992 universities churning out 2nd rate degrees and 2nd rate graduates,. I have experience of 1992 universities and 2nd rate degrees.

Hi there, here's a guide to help you with Police Scotland: www.how2become.com/careers/scottish-police-officer/ I hope this helps. Regards, Richard

Hi Saba, if you are required to attend a police officer final interview, then they will probably ask questions based on your application form. However, for this interview (competency based) they will not ask you questions from your application form., I hope this helps.

If that's an example of your grammar and spelling you won't get as far as an interview.

Hi there, yes I would imagine they will be similar. We also have a book at the following link that may be useful: www.how2become.com/careers/scottish-police-officer/

@@CareerVidz Very interesting video. Could you please be more specific when stating 'I would imagine'... I understand that these are general Q based on your own experience, as stated by you at the beginning of the video. However, out of curiosity, any knowledge of Q that apply to the PSC interview? Thanks in advance.

Depends. Some police services let you join as a detective (if you’re a uni graduate). If you don’t want to go to Uni there’s the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship.

I’ve bought a specials police interview book that may help !

Thanks! Can you send me a link to the new assessment details and I will give you some tips? Cheers, Richard

I have passed the sift and awaiting a date, the only details I have were from online their website and these were the following aspects to the RAC day: Interview 10 minute presentation Fitness test Written assessments

Hi Harley, you don't need a degree to become a regular police officer. Age is no barrier, and providing you can match the experiences required, you will not be discriminated because of your age. Just make sure you meet the eligibility requirements for the force you are applying for. You can even attend our police officer training course if you want to, to learn how to pass: www.how2become.com/courses/police-officer-2/

That’s brilliant, thank you very much. I’ll definitely check the event out!

Go for it Harley, I myself am 19 and thought exactly the same as yourself, I've just passed the assessment centre and have my final interview lined up this month, dont doubt yourself!

That’s quality mate, congrats! Knowing somebody else has thought the same as me and succeeded is a huge plus for me. Thanks a lot mate, all the best.

Nice job both of you! Im 18 as well and today I recieved an email stating I have made it through to the next stage of the police! 1 month to go! Best of luck to all of you👮‍♂️

Yeah, I tend to agree with you there. I think having a robust and sufficient police force is important. Hopefully, they will start recruiting soon to the numbers we had back in the 2000's.

Hi, I recommend checking out this page: www.how2become.com/careers/police-officer/ Good luck with your assessment :)

Hi Gemma, are you applying for Police Scotland?

@@CareerVidz Hi, it's actually my partner who's in the process of applying and commented through my account. Yes, it is Police Scotland.

Hi Enduro, our advice is to try and gain experience in the assessable area. For example, if you have no prior experience of working in the community, you could volunteer at a local community centre or charity. It's always best to be able to refer to example of situations you have been in, as opposed to saying what you would do in a given situation or scenario. I hope this helps. Richard

CareerVidz thank you that really helps

You are most welcome :)
