Of all the different parts of the SES application and hiring process, the interview seems to cause people the most stress. This can be the most important interview of your career, so people struggle to collect and articulate their thoughts, while remaining calm and confident during the interview.
Over the past four decades, we have gathered extensive feedback from SES applicants about their experiences in SES interviews-what went well, what worked, and what did not!
We have also coached many groups and individuals on SES interview prep, from broad ranging agencies such as Department of Treasury, Department of Veterans Affairs, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, Department of the Army, Air Force Research Laboratories, NASA, and many more.
Even while teaching others, here at SES Writers (CareerPro Global) we are always learning from them too, and we have assimilated all of our hard-won expertise into half-day and full-day SES interview prep workshops.
The half-day version of this class includes up to 15 students, and instruction on:
What kinds of questions to expect
How to use the Challenge-Context-Action-Results (CCAR) format to answer behavior-based questions in a dynamic and effective way
How to best prepare to discuss each of the five ECQs
What other questions to anticipate from your interviewer?
What to do in the weeks leading up to the interview
How to present oneself on an interpersonal level during the interview
Students receive valuable tools such as an Interview Preparation Worksheet and Interview Tips Guide
*Note: half-day class is only available virtually, unless coupled with another in-person full-day class, such as our ECQ Best Practices Workshops.
