I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Department for Education (UK) (Sheffield, England) in May 2012
Interview
Straightforward competency based questions. The interview took place in their headquarters and was conducted by two of their senior employees in the economic analysis division. The interview started with describing yourself, and was then followed by some competency based questions. The next stage in the process was to ask any questions you had about the role or department.
