    You have to send a letter for feedback which I have done no reply as yet.
  • i went for the interview today and i don't really think i convinced them because on 2 of my questions they asked me loads of follow up questions and sometimes they mis interpreted what i was telling them eventhough i tried to clear the mis interpretations up i dont no whether i was any good.

    i fought back my nerves and feeling of nausea but i hope i didnt over do my acting and come across too over confident that would not be good. i managed to answer the other two questions well so i can't really judge it.

    i just wanted to say thanks for everyones help and im likely to find the results out in about a month depending on the situation at head office so i will let you know what happens.
  • Hello just wanted to let everyone no i recieved a letter today from DWP (so only had to wait 6 days for a response which is fantastic since they gave me a time frame of four weeks).

    It says that i was successful in the interview (YAY!!) and will now be put on a waiting list for 12months but there is no guarantee of a job...which i was abit suprised by but im just hoping that i get a call soon.

    But i wanted to say thank you to all those who advised me and told me to stay calm.i really appreciate all your help it means a lot.
