Competition and Markets Authority interview questions

I applied online through the usual civil service application process. The Interview was on teams with panel of three directors, and I was asked fairly typical civil service interview questions. There was an option to interview in person if you wanted to travel to London. I had a case study exercise to complete and submit ahead of the interview. Long wait for the outcome, literally months, at which point I was told that although I was appointable and they would have loved to offer me the job, they were no longer able to recruit to the post due to budget changes. Very frustrating. I was placed on a reserve list for a year.

Submitted CV, cover letter and some questions about myself. This was followed by a verbal and numeric reasoning tests. After passing, I was invited to an interview which was conducted by 2 staff from different depts.
