GUIDELINES FOR THE PERSONAL INTERVIEW FOR THE POLICE
PERSONAL INTERVIEW

Tips:
The interview, along with the psychometric tests, is one of the most important parts of
the opposition and it is advisable to be prepared for what they may ask us.
The most important thing for the interview is to be calm and be ourselves.
most of the questions that will be asked of us will be related to that
what we put in the open personality test, regarding our way of
It is very important not to try to deceive the Court, as it has many
years of experience and if they catch us we will only manage to give an image
awful. It is very important to show that we are confident in ourselves, and
defend our opinions whenever possible. If the interviewer you

responsibility. If on the contrary they tell you that you are too young, you will have

mature and that unlike older people, you are in better
physical conditions for the police position.
They are going to ask you questions until they find your weak point, and once they do
they will start to attack you at that point to test your resistance to the
pressure, therefore it is very important not to doubt at any moment. The
the interview lasts no more than 15 to 20 minutes and in such a short time if we
we keep on our site it will be very hard for you to find where
to attack us.
We must always tell the truth, although that does not prevent us from focusing on
our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.
Finally, remember that throughout the interview we have to send

our dream is to be able to become police and that we are not one of those
professional candidates who take as many competitions as they can, whether it is
police, civil guard, mailman, and that the only thing they seek is a position of

How to behave:
To begin with, it is important for us to realize that we are going to be
interviewed by a Jury and that at all times we must show them the
respect that is deserved. When it comes to dressing for the day of the interview, the opinions

to wear on the day of the interview. Under no circumstances should we take off the

Once seated, we should set ourselves up with a straight back and adopt a
position as comfortably and relaxed as possible, but maintaining a posture
