Most roles in the Civil Service require those holding their position to be self-managed in their work. Training is light, and determination and diligence are required. To indicate that you are well equipped, display the research you have already put into the role by showcasing how resourceful and independent you are. When asking interviewers questions, never ask questions you could have easily answered on your own when preparing for your interview.
