The Garda Interview
The Garda Interview involves a competency-based format. In this rigorously organised interview, candidates are given advance notice of several essential competencies. These competencies, predetermined by the interview panel, are considered vital skills for serving effectively in An Garda Síochána. Candidates are then required to provide examples of moments when they successfully demonstrated these competencies. Clearly, the level of preparation by the candidates beforehand will significantly influence their performance during the interview.
