Grade 7 interview guide

Most Grade 7 interviews are behaviour-based. A panel asks for examples and probes your actions, judgement and results against the behaviours in the advert.

What changes at Grade 7

Expect deeper follow-ups on trade-offs, stakeholders and impact. Answers should still be STAR, but Action should show strategic framing, leading teams or complex projects and advising senior stakeholders.

Preparation

  • Prepare two examples per advertised behaviour.
  • Practise aloud to 2–3 minutes.
  • Be ready for "what would you do differently?"
