JUst a quick question for those who suffer from asthma, or have done in the past. Or those who do not suffer with it!!!!!!! What is/was your peak flow reading? And if you have completed the fitness/medical how did you find the lung function test?

Hi all Have made a few posts recently in the run up to my A/C. I got my results today (actually turned up 5 days early!!) Respect Race Diversity 79% Written Communication 89% Oral Communication 100% Overall 63% To say I am pleased is an understatement. Best of luck to anyone else who has an A/C coming up. I dont want to sound smug or anything but I really believe that preparing thoroughly, and thinking about possible answers to questions (I had 2/3 examples for each competency) is the key. Remember personal responsibilty during every exercise, and always concentrate on what you personally have done, and what you can do for people (in the role plays) Good Luck Mat

i have read alot on here about the application being marked A B C etc. what does this mean and what is the better grades to get? does anyone know the minimum grades required, thanks

Firstly I apologise if this area has already been covered. Do I need copies of my exam results if I finished school in 1995?? I have copies of the certificates from all the courses I have done since leaving school but I cannot find my GCSE results.... Thanks in advance.

i am in the process of completing my application form, on the questions part where it asks about why you want to be a police officer, i have put (summary) " I want to become a police officer because i believe it will offer me a challening and rewarding career, with the oppurtunity to work as a n individual and as part of a team providign a customer focused role in my community" but is this not what i should put in the "what you expect to be undertaking as a police officer" question? how could i include this or redo this question

I have had 6 1/2 days absence in the last 2 years. Whats the limit before you'll fail the recruitment process? Not that i'm planning on more time off, i just want to see if i'm already past the point of no return. Any ideas?

in the questions "why this polie force" and "what impact do you think being a police officer will have on your social/domestic life" how can i ellaborate on this I have applied to my chosen force because i want to provide the highest level of service to benefit my community, and to be part of the Bedfordshire police team. and im not sure what to put for the social/domestic question

Would anybody be willing to take a look at a couple of my answers, especially my spelling and GRAMMER(which is not the best) And give me some feedback! Thanks to those who offer :)

does the application have to be filled in in normal writing or Block capitals?

Waiting for the ever incresing time frame to pass to get an offer from Cambs - I have noticed that Northants are recruiting. I phoned their HR this afternoon, and was told that it would be possible to transfer my application + a/c pass to them. What I am not too sure about is the requirement for the Final Interview and how arduous it is. Would the fact that I am an SC in Cambs sway the decision in my favour? What shift patterns do they work in Northants? Would I be posted to a station geographically helpful? With a start date potentially in September or Novemeber with Northants, its certainly a lot more appealing than the projected 2010 start date for Cambs. All these que…

Hello, I'm a 23yr old female and after backing out twice from applying I've decided that I really want to go in for the Police and feel it is definately something I want to go in for. But the application form is tying me in knots as I'm really struggling to think of an an answer that gives me some credit for Question 3 (Recalling a decision I made that others may have disagreed with, how did I react to difficulty and challenge). I went to university and now work in Retail, but I honestly am finding it so hard to muster a situation from my life that sounds "ok". . I've looked at example answers on the stickies and understand what the assessors are looking for but I'm ju…

My parents have a IVA will this stop my application as it is not mine

I have just done through all my competency questions and have answered them all as best I could. The thing is all the instances i have used have all happened at work. Are they looking for different aspects of life or will these be sufficient? Any answer is welcome, thanks in advance.
