Interview question about experience of complex ER cases

Hi all,

I have noticed that alot of employers are looking for experience in complex ER cases when applying for HR Officer/ HR Advisor roles. Please can you advise what sort of things are they looking for and how do you go about answering interview questions for it. e.g please can you talk me through a ER case you recently been involved in?

not sure the best way to answer this or what they are looking for. I work in a highly secure environment and have signed the official secrets act. How much detail do they expect from a candidate? What's the best way to answer a question like this?

Other than experience at work, what other ways can you recommend gaining ER case experience?

Thanks for your help.

    It is impossible to say what any specific employer is looking for. It will depend on the nature of their businesses and the kinds of ER issues that tend to occur. However, you could take take very many of the posts on here as descriptions of complex ER cases that the person posting is involved in.

    Interviewers don’t expect interviewees to breach confidentiality, but to describe their experience similarly to posts on here, i.e. anonymising it. I would also avoid using any incidents that show your current employer in a bad light.
