Are there any questions likely to be asked in a recruitment interview for an OPG?
Has anyone on here done it recently and can give me a heads up?

Re: Recruitment interview.
I had my interview back in July and started in September. The main questions asked were the almost standard ones that most jobs use now.
Expect things about "give an example of when you worked in a team" and "give an example of how you changed plans at the last minute" and things along those lines. If there are driving duties then there could be a question about what visual checks you would make before starting a vehicle, tyres/fluid levels/wipers/lights etc I think he wanted five things. Our office hasn't gone over to park and loop yet so I would have expected to have been asked if I could ride a bike, but I wasn't!!
