I'm doing an application form and as well as a section where I have to detail my suitability based on the core competencies (yes, it's public sector) there's a bit for "additional information". What do I put in that bit, then, eh?

What are the competencies?
They're using them to assess potential and behaviours - you need to find examples of activities that demonstrate those behaviours. E.g.:
Proactively supports change, adjusting approach to meet changing requirements
You'd need to demonstrate owned change, managing others changes, positive acceptance of change by others - all in specific behaviours.
Edit If you have additional competencies that are not listed by them, find a way to shoe horn them in.

Cheers Hoopy. I've done all that, but there's this big blank section for additional information, which is glaring at me, resplendent in its emptiness. It seems a bit superfluous but I am feeling an urge to fill it in, as it were.

or put loads of additional information such as the wettest place in the world, why it was the salt taxes that made gandhi mad and all other sorts of things. they'll be impressed with your wide-ranging knowledge

I don't want to say, you'll all laugh. I've got to send it in now anyway. I've covered virtually everything that would be of any use elsewhere in the application to be honest, and I don't want to repeat myself too much. Arf @grovey and Wiz. I knew both of those things would one day come in useful.

There are times I would love to workin the public sector - basilrobbie makes is sound like a right doddle. Doesn't he have his own ludicrously-subsidised private guinness bar or something?

Apparently the tendency to start fires does not mean that you're disabled. Neither is exhibitionism or voyeurism. I've applied anyway.
I wouldn't have put a request in for Power of AWAG as it's a bit gay, but should I get an interview I will now do so in order to have a dedicated thread about what a wand I am put on amber army.
