Do you know how to CUDSAR??

April 01, 2021 • Brendan O'Brien

If you are in the Police already, or in the Police Recruitment Journey, and you have a role play, written exercise or a forward facing HR or integrity question ahead of you, then CUDSAR is a model you can use every time to ensure you score highly

In this podcast I describe how you can use CUDSAR, which stands for Confront, Understand, Define and Summarise, Action and Result, to score highly in role plays, written exercises and any forward facing questions that involve people (HR and or Integrity issues are the most common)
