Here are some examples of questions we might ask at interview. Hopefully, these will allow you to prepare and have your answers ready for your next SSSC (Scottish Social Services Council) interview.

Opening interview questions: 
  • Tell me about yourself. 
  • What do you know about the organisation?  
  • Why do you want to work for us?  
  • What can you bring to the organisation?  

Competency based interview questions: 
  • Tell me about a time you went the extra mile for your job. How did you do it? 
  • What was the last training you attended? How did you use your new knowledge in practice? 
  • Tell me about the most significant project you worked on. How did you manage it, from start to finish? 
  • Describe a time when you wished you’d been more collaborative with others. What did you do?  What were the key learnings? 

Closing interview questions: 
  • Is the position what you expected based on the job advert? 
  • Why do you think you would be a good fit for the role? 
  • What development needs do you have for the role?
  • Do you have any questions for us?
