As an external applicant, I've had 4 interviews for signaller roles in the last 6 months. Whilst I haven't been successful (yet!) I have noticed where any weaknesses are in my answers...This has been helped by feedback from the interviewers, and also through interview practice with the Mrs (obviously she loves that...). Anyway, even though it's 4 interview failures, I now have what I believe to be a very strong set of answers/examples....I don't think it would have been possible to be at this stage without several failures.
I'm able to stay positive because obviously I still want the job, but also because 3 out of 4 interviews were for high grade (G5+) positions, where there is likely a strong presence of current signallers or at least "internal candidates", in densely populated areas.
I've got a couple more interviews lined up, and am thinking that a lower grade position may be the way to "get in" to signalling, and then be able to move up the grades with more experience etc.
Does this ring true with anyone else!? Or am I just fluffing the interviews?
