I'm joined by the amazing Andrea who was one of the very first Adventures After Teaching Academy members! Andrea talks us through the whole process she went through to be accepted on the Police Detective graduate scheme.
This is a fascinating chat as Andrea reflects on the process of selling her teaching skills and showing how these translate brilliantly to the police.
Even if the police is not a career path for you, there is lots of great advice as Andrea explains how she approached the different styles of assessments and interviews!
In this episode we also explore:
- What attracted Andrea to the police force.
- What the police detective graduate scheme looks like.
- The variety of roles available within the Police.
- The application stages and everything they involved.
- Her positive feedback from the interview process.
- Andrea's skills in shooting and representing team GB!
