CIVIL Services Question:

You must have some kind of answer to this question. It does not necessarily require you to have had some relevant work experience, although this would undoubtedly help. It is asking you about your "experience of" the public sector. So any contact with local or national government departments or agencies could be useful examples.

Are there any initiatives local to where you live at home that could provide some examples. Any local policies that relate in some way to national ones? A hospital closure, for example, a new road being built or army barracks being relocated!

You should demonstrate your awareness of a wide range of issues. You should also show your consideration of the difficulties involved in making some decisions.
