Insider Information To Help You Succeed

As with the role of a police officer the first stage of the recruitment process is where the majority of candidates fail to demonstrate what is required. Within your PCSO application form there are a number of competency based questions which are used to see if you meet the requirements of the role.

This section of the application form asks you to provide three specific examples from your recent past of situations you have dealt with. Your responses will be assessed to determine if you will be asked to attend the next stage of assessment.

• The recruitment staff are looking for information on how you behave in situations. The more of these competencies that you are able to highlight, the more likely you are to be invited to pass the application sift stage. It is therefore important that your answers describe in some detail what you said and what you did in this situation. Be as specific as you can and do not be too general.

• Try to use examples that you found difficult or challenging to deal with. They tend to achieve better marks.

Top Tips for the PCSO Application form:

• Answer all of the questions.

• Avoid using slang terms in your answers.

• Write in complete sentences, rather than notes or bullet points as this creates a bad impression

• You must not write outside the space provided as no marks will be given for this additional information
 

The Problem For Most PCSO Applicants...

However, the problem is that the application process which includes written tests, role plays and interviews has become very competitive and the recruitment team are finding it increasingly difficult to separate candidates from one another.

Many candidates (in fact between 70-80%) do not make it further than submitting an application form because they do not match the competencies of the role they are applying for.

Those that do make it to the assessment centre struggle for the simple reason that they are not fully prepared or know what is expected of them.
