Many years ago I applied to be a police officer. I was the only white bloke out of 30 that turned up. I passed the physical, and written exams but failed the interview. I am a quiet person and not overly confident, so sat across a table from 3 officers in uniform was very daunting for a law abiding person like me! So I really didn't give a good account of myself. I tried again a few years back this time the format had changed and the interview was first, I failed once again. I was a lot more confident but didn't really give good enough answers to their questions so didn't get called back for the next part of the selection process.

I won't be applying again!
