Sample Border Force Strength-Based Interview Question

The next stage of the recruitment process is the Border Force interview. During the interview you will be assessed against two different types of interview questions; behavioural and strength-based questions.

The strength-based questions are more about what people enjoy, and less focused on work related performance. Although there are no right or wrong answers you should be honest in your approach, and consider how you can link your responses to the role of a border force officer.

Q.Tell me about yourself and the skills and qualities you have that are a match for a Border Force Officer?

Answer:

I am someone who is disciplined and takes great pride in their work, and the professional standards that I always make sure I work to. I am hard-working, I have strong values, and I am confident, resilient and focused in difficult and challenging situations. When faced with problems, I always approach these in an analytical manner and am decisive when making decisions. Outside of work, I keep myself fit and active and I like to lead a relatively healthy lifestyle. As a Border Force Officer, I understand you need to be vigilant, resilient, remain calm in difficult situations and also be capable following strict rules and procedures. I believe the skills, the attributes and the experience I have gained in life so far would enable me to be a competent Border Force Officer. If I am given the opportunity to undertake this role, which has been an ambition of mine for some time now, I will be a great team worker, I will learn the role quickly, and I will always perform my duties to the highest standards and efficiently possible.

The behavioural questions will seek to ascertain evidence from your previous work experience or education where you have shown certain behavioural skills. These types of questions are perfect for the use of the S.T.A.R. method (Situation, Task, Action, Result).

When responding to these questions ensure you have a sound knowledge of the person specification, and also the Civil Service strengths dictionary, especially the strengths mapped to the behaviours; Making effective decisions, Working together, Delivering at Pace and Communicating and Influencing.

About The Aptitude Tests For Border Force Officer Selection

The aptitude tests are perhaps the most difficult part of the selection process, and success in them will guarantee you have the opportunity to demonstrate your full potential. Here’s a brief description of the type of tests you will be required to pass to continue with your application.

(CLICK ON THE TABS BELOW FOR FURTHER INFORMATION)

The first test in the aptitude tests is the verbal test also known as the Civil Service Verbal Test (CSVT)

Please read the passage provided and then answer the questions below.

People pay National Insurance contributions in order to build up their entitlement to a state pension and other social security benefits.

The amount that you pay is directly linked to the amount you earn. If you earn over a certain amount, your employer deducts Class 1 National Insurance contributions from your wages through the PAYE system.

You pay a lower rate of National Insurance contributions if you’re a member of your employer’s ‘contract- ed’ pension scheme, or you’re a married woman – or widow – who holds a valid ‘election certificate’.

Your employer also pays employer National Insurance contributions based on your earnings and on any benefits you get with your job, for example a company car. HMRC keeps track of your contributions through your National Insurance number. This is like an account number and is unique to you.

  • 1. People pay National Insurance contributions in order to build up housing benefits? – True, false or cannot say
  • 2. HMRC stands for ‘Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’? – True, false or cannot say

Answers

1) People pay National Insurance contributions in order to build up housing benefits?

Answer: Cannot say

Explanation: Although the statement makes reference to social security benefits, it does not confirm that these include housing benefits. The correct answer is cannot say based on the information provided.

2) HMRC stands for ‘Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs’?

Answer: Cannot say

Explanation: The passage makes no reference to this fact; therefore, the correct answer is cannot say based on the information provided. Also, this is a perfect example of where we must discount information that we know to be true in reality, but is not referred to in the passage.

The second and final online test you will have to face is the judgement test (CSJT). This form of situational test is difficult and you will have to practice plenty to ensure you pass.

Read the provided scenario and then rank each of the responses below either counterproductive, ineffective, fairly effective or effective.

You arrive at your desk to find that all of your paperwork for a certain task is missing. You have no idea where it’s gone, but you know that a colleague has held a grudge against you ever since you started. What do you do?

  1. Confront the colleague and demand that they tell you where they’ve hidden your paperwork.
  2. Remain calm and keep searching for your paperwork around your desk.
  3. Speak to your superior and accuse this colleague of hiding your work.
  4. Politely ask colleagues, including the one holding a grudge, if they’ve seen the paperwork that you’ve misplaced. If this doesn’t work, speak to your superior.

Answers

Confront the colleague and demand that they tell you where they’ve hidden your paperwork.

Answer: Counterproductive

Explanation: This is an overreaction, and you have no evidence to support your theory that this colleague has stolen your work. You’d also likely be causing a disturbance in the office.

Remain calm and keep searching for your paperwork around your desk.

Answer: Fairly Efficient

Explanation: This is fairly efficient because you may have just misplaced your work. However, you might also be wasting precious time.

Speak to your superior and accuse this colleague of hiding your work.

Answer: Inefficient

Explanation: This is better than publicly confronting your colleague and disrupting others but is still inefficient because you have no evidence that they’ve stolen from you.

Politely ask colleagues, including the one holding a grudge, if they’ve seen the paperwork that you’ve misplaced. If this doesn’t work, speak to your superior.

Answer: Efficient

Explanation: This is the best solution as it’s possible that someone had to move your paperwork throughout the day. Also, one of your colleagues might have seen the colleague move your paperwork.
