Prison Instructor

[fordka]

I have been invited in for a interview in a catergory "A " male prison, the job being as a instructor, does anyone know what type of questions they will ask ?

[pingping]

a friend of mine got a job as a prison computer instructor and he was told that it was essential that he didn't give any personal information about himself to the inmates, not even to let them know he was married (told to take of his wedding ring).

it may be that you'll get asked how you will cope in difficult situations; dealing with aggressive behaviour; not reacting to personal jibes.

On your application form were you asked to give specific examples of certain things (e.g. dealing with a difficult situation, making a difficult decision)? If so they usually ask you to describe them in more depth at the interview or give another example. I'd prepare some examples in your head just in case.
