A new circuit judge competition has just been announced by the JAC and they are looking to fill 79 vacancies. The closing date for applications is 28th May 2008. As a solicitor or a barrister you might be interested to find out more about this competition at http://www.judicialappointments.gov.uk/current/1428.htm.
What worries you about the process?
- Where do I start when reviewing the personal qulaities or competencies on the application form?
- How do I choose the best referees to represent me?
- I haven’t had an interview for years, so I have no idea how I come across to others in an interview scenario
- I’m usually the one asking the questions. What kind of questions will they ask me?
- What can I do to prepare for a competency based selection process?
How can we help?
We understand how you feel and we can help you make the most of this opportunity to prove yourself. In one or more confidential sessions you will have the opportunity to:
- Review your approach to the application form
- Understand the competencies or quailities required for the role
- Practise some interview questions
- Address any other issues that concern you about your application
One-to-one coaching sessions are tailored to suit your needs and requirements. As an example, you may want one coach to help you prepare the application form with subsequent sessions followed up by email or phone, based on an hourly rate of £250 + VAT. Or you might prefer a 2 hour interview preparation session with two of our coaches at £850 + VAT.
