She has coached candidates to success in the civil service\, local authorities and public sector agencies and has worked with candidates at all levels of\nseniority. \nDo you want some advice and guidance on writing the competency questions that are part of the application form? Would you like some input on writing your CV? Do you want some help in preparing for the interview? Would you prefer to work with our interview expert on a one- to-one basis instead of attending a training course? If so\, you will be interested in attending an interview coaching session and to work with our interview coach on a one-to-one basis for a one and half hour coaching session. \nThe session also includes interview preparation\, mock interviews\, review and analysis of application materials sent to our coach in advance of the session in the form of CV\, cover letter\, application form for open competition or general advice and review requested based on your past experience attending an interview.

This advance preparation by our coach ensures the session is as productive and beneficial to the client as possible.  \nWhy one-to-one? \n\nIf you want help completing your application form or CV\, the coach will guide you on what will work on paper\, what the interviewers will be looking for when reviewing your application form and what is being assessed if there is a shortlisting process. Maybe you have a draft application form or CV that you want the coach to work with you on during the coaching session so that you can improve the application you submit. Our interview coach can offer advice and guidance on writing the answers to the competency questions that are part of the application form\, to ensure you are highlighting your relevant previous experience as it relates to the role and that you make it through the shortlisting process. \nAlternatively\, you might want to focus on the interview itself. The coach will help you prepare for interview\, working through your main “selling points” and making sure this comes through clearly in the answers to the interview questions. She will work through interview questions and answers and make sure you are clearly able to answer them and to articulate your fit for the role advertised. She can conduct a mock interview with you. \nIf a presentation is required as part of the interview process\, she can work with you to clarify what you think the interview board are looking for and then work through the presentation approach and content and rehearse the presentation\, including anticipating questions that might be asked. \nInterview Tips for Civil Service and Public Sector Interviews – can be read by clicking here  \nCompleting an application form for the Civil and Public Service – can be read by clicking here \n  \nNote: If the below date and time slots do not suit\, please email registrations@pai.ie and we can try and book you an alternative slot.  \n\n

SUMMARY:Capability-Based Interview Panel Training: Mastering Recruitment in the New Framework
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this course is based on the PAS Civil Service Capability Framework (Clerical Officer to Principal Officer)\nEmail registrations@pai.ie for separate upcoming interview training dates based on the Civil Service Competency models.  \nCourse Overview \nThis workshop is a focused\, transitional programme designed for Interview Board members and recruitment professionals who are already familiar with competency‑based interviewing and now need to adapt their practice to the new Civil Service Capability Framework. It is not a full interviewer‑skills course. Instead\, it concentrates specifically on helping interviewers understand the Framework\, interpret the Dimensions and Sub‑Dimensions\, and adjust their questioning\, probing and scoring approaches to align with the new model. \nThe workshop explains how the Capability Framework now underpins question design and assessment\, and how it differs from the previous competency‑based approach. Participants learn how to explore a wider range of evidence\, including behaviours\, strengths\, knowledge\, values\, motivation and interests\, and how to incorporate these elements into their existing interviewing practice. The session also covers the revised scoring approach associated with capability‑based interviewing\, enabling interviewers to apply the new scoring indicators consistently and confidently. \nAll content is based on the current Civil Service Capability Framework and reflects best practice in structured\, fair and evidence‑based interviewing\, in line with the Code of Practice for Appointments to the Civil and Public Service. \n  \nLearning Outcomes   \n\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to:\n\nUnderstand the new Capability Framework and the Dimensions and Sub‑Dimensions of the Framework\nLearn how the new Dimensions and Sub‑Dimensions map onto the previously used competency model\nIdentify similarities and differences between this new approach to interviews and the previous competency‑based interviews\nObtain sample interview questions that can be used with capability‑based interviewing\, addressing experience\, examples\, behaviours\, skills\, strengths\, knowledge\, motivation\, values and interests\nAcquire the method of constructing capability‑based interview questions\nAppreciate the importance of probing questions\, especially when candidates use prepared or AI‑generated answers\nKnow and apply the new scoring approaches that are part of capability‑based interviewing\n\n\n\n  \nIntended Audience\nThis workshop will be of benefit to those who will be members of Interview Boards for Civil Service and Public Sector roles using the new Capability Framework. It will also benefit members of HR\, Recruitment and Talent Acquisition teams who are involved in recruitment or advising staff members about these new interviews. \nMultiple Delegate Discount\n\n3+ Delegates – 5% Discount\n5+ Delegates – 10% Discount\n10+ Delegates – 15% Discount\n\nTo avail of our multiple delegate discount for 3 or more delegates\, you must email registrations@pai.ie with the name and details of all those you wish to book.
