Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve just submitted an application for a civil service position (before reading your post, alas) and while I know they’re all very competitive roles, as someone who didn’t study at a super top university for various reasons, I loved the blind recruitment process and the guidance available online. Fair, clear and reasonable. Your thoughts are really valuable too and align perfectly with what I took away from the online guidance.

I’m glad to hear it. Good luck with your application!
