Non Police Careers
So many great candidates don’t get the job they go for because they don’t fully understand what’s expected from them. It may be many years since you last had an interview and things have changed so much.
At Careers In Blue, we can go through the interview process with you, preparing you for your perfect career role.
We will help you understand the process, be prepared to be able to give your best and instilling you with confidence to help you achieve…
For those of you considering a career change or entering the jobs market for the first time, Careers In Blue can give you that insight and tools to be the best applicant you can be.
When you apply, by using our Application Forms and Structured Interviews Workbook, coupled with our Workshop, we will ensure you are fully aware on how to be successful at each stage. The system we use to prepare candidates has been tried and tested – successfully! We will ensure that you give yourself the best possible chance to achieve at every stage. Some other companies will bombard you with tests and books – we are of the mindset that if you know what is expected of you and have a structure for answering the questions at each stage of your interviews, you will succeed!

Bespoke Interview Workshop
For those who have applied for a role, this is the package for you.

We will go through your practical examples to ensure you couldn’t be any better prepared and full of confidence for your interview.

One to One Mock Interview
For those of you who may have done any of our courses, or even if you are new to Careers In Blue and feel you have prepared yourself sufficiently, but would like the opportunity of a mock interview, this is ideal for you.
Although we call it a ‘One to One’ Mock Interview, there will in fact be two trainers on hand to make your mock interview as lifelike as it can be. If you choose to have further interviews, different question sets will be used
Honest and constructive feedback on your current performance will be given, with advice and guidance on areas where you could look to improve.
The opportunity to have a mock interview, ahead of the real thing, is the best preparation you can do.
Rather than worrying about what you might face, you will be instilled with confidence and enthusiasm, ready to face what lies ahead on your interview journey.

5* Google Review dated October 2024
I cannot recommend Careers in Blue enough. Chris and Jan have been fantastic throughout.
With their help I was able to pass the SIFT, Online Assessment Centre and my In Force Interview.
Coupled with their informative online sessions, their handbook "Police Recruitment Start to Finish" was a great additional resource to have.
Without their help, there is no way I would not have been as successful as I have been.
Best of all, I found that is I ever had a question they always had time to provide a response which helped me no end.
I would strongly recommend Careers in Blue for anyone looking to join a Police Force or moving within one.

I can't recommend Careers In Blue enough! I successfully passed the online assessments and my interview first time after doing 4 workshops and a mock interview with Jan and Chris, as well as using their workbook which was extremely helpful.
They were both very informative and supportive of my journey going into the police and my confidence has been boosted incredibly.
I would highly reccomend Careers In Blue to anyone who is wanting to join the police!

Careers in blue were helpful in my application. I took advantage of the courses to help past the sift, and brought their recruitment start to finish book.
This was really helpful for setting out what the process would be and making sure I understand it.
Chris and Jan are really friendly on the sessions and check in via email / optional weekly free call to make sure you are feeling good about the process.

I would recommend getting the workbook which has everything you need for each process of recruitment.
They also offer free services every week so make use of them! I couldn’t recommend this service enough.

My university provided us with the careers in blue work books and paid Chris and Jan to come in for a few sessions regarding the police recruitment process.
I had personally struggled with the recruitment assessments and had failed both parts previously, however, after having 1 to 1 sessions over teams with Chris and Jan, as well as completing some SIFT practice questions and mock interview questions, I was able to pass with flying colours!
I would highly recommend their service to anyone and would go as far as to say that their input was paramount to me passing my recruitment process.

Careers in blue have massively helped me through the recruitment stage, through the OAC and my final interview.
The support and guidance from carers in blue is 10/10.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in policing.

Chris and Jan helped my through the recruitment process as a Special Constable.
They made the whole process much more understandable and gave me great insights and support.
They even went above and beyond to help me out at short notice for my final interview.
Would definitely recommend.

Thanks to Jan and Chris for helping me crush every single aspect of the application process.
I used them for all three tests up to and including the senior interview and passed every stage with ease.
I can undoubtedly say that without their involvement and detailed prep then it is highly doubtful that I would have scored as highly as I did.
They are patient and kind and truly invested in your success.
I’d also recommend that you look at their book as well as that is a great supplement to the whole process.
Highly highly recommended!
