The Structured Interview is one of the key exercises in the EPSO Assessment Centre. It is not to be confused with a classic job interview which it is not: candidates are asked questions about past situations in their life to demonstrate to which level they possess (or do not possess) a given competency from the 7 or 8 competencies identified by EPSO.
Assessors tell candidates which competency is being tested so they can adapt their answers accordingly. Given that the style and type of questions that are asked are relatively known, it is possible to prepare very well for this exam.
