How to use the timeline technique in your police applicant panel interview

Summary

If you’re applying to join Victoria Police, as Police Officer, Protective Services Officer, or Custody Officer, you’ll be required to sit a selection panel interview.

The purpose of the panel interview is to assess you as an applicant against the key selection criteria to determine whether you have the skills, qualities, and capacity to perform the role effectively.

In order to make that assessment, you will need to provide examples in the form of real-life experiences that provide evidence of the skills or qualities in question.

Some positions may have as many as 15 very specific key selection areas that need to be addressed.

Does this mean you need to think of 15 different life experiences?

No. This is where the Timeline Technique can help.
