Congratulations to all who received successful letters today. I'm waiting for the outcome of two interviews earlier this month.0

I had interview last week for an EO vacancy. Results should be here in around 2 weeks (so they say !!). I now had another interview for AO early next week.
Has anyone had interviews for both positions and, if so, do the interviews vary much?
Many thanks
I had an interview for AO at Hillsborough on the 15/07. I did an application for AO and EO at the same time, never heard back about the EO job but got the online test for the AO, completed that - then got e-mails saying i hadn't completed it. I e-mailed the person listed in the original e-mail to find out if i should have had a test for the EO job as well but never heard anything back.
Should hear something about the job in the next few days now hopefully......First name Mister

Hello newbie here, even though I have been lurking, and reading the two DWP threads, for over a month.
Did anyone else attend the interviews at Sheffield w/c 13 July?
I applied for IRC 60535 (AO)
Completed the on-line test before the closing date of 1 July
Attended interview 14 July *Shudders at the memory* :eek:
I completed all the CRB/Health forms etc prior to being interviewed
I know it is a long drawn out procedure
I am just curious if any-one else attended the interviews that week, and whether or not any feedback has been received0 -
woohooooo:beer:
IRC60076. I too got my success letter today!!! What a relief. Yep it says waiting list for 12 months but I like the fact that they say they are now carrying out pre-recruitment checks. That to me seems like a good sign.
I went to a black-country assessment exercise last week and was told the 60076 people were hopefully to start in August and September depending on branches.
Things might be rolling forward now!!!
So happy!

I was there the day after and haven't heard anything yet - was told it would be 10-12 working days to hear anything so now i'm just playing the waiting game.
The forms and paperwork took longer to fill out than the interview took to complete!First name Mister

I was there on the17th for the EO position. Have interview this Monday for the AO position.
Last time I had an interview it was 4 weeks before we heard anything !!!0 -

I was told that one on line test was all they needed, and the results would be used for all applications for all levels. I also had the e-mails reminding me to complete the test, even when I had already completed it ! I only completed it the once in the end, and obviously they have used this for both vacancies.
I did, however, e-mail DWP after the EO interview to ask why I had not been requested for interview for the AO position as well. After I sent the e-mail, I received e-mail from Capita about the interview this Monday !
Who knows what is happening0
