    Hi Everyone, just an update to let you all know I have a start date for 15th of this month.

    Now all I have to do is tell the other company I dont want their job, any hints?

    Have you or your colleague tried phoning Newcastle for information?

    If you don't mind me asking, if you're already working for DWP, why are you going after a temporary position in the current climate? I won't be offended if you tell me to mind my own business..:confused:

    hi

    I recently attended an interview for the EO post with DWP and lo and behold I was successful but was on a waiting list which could last 12 months (the job I applied for was in the Lanarkshire area of Scotland).
    Not being one to just accept this and carry on regardless, I called Newcastle to find out the score. Apparently I am 35th on the wait list but wasn't told out of how many. I also attended another interview for a diff position with the DWP and mentioned the EO post to the guy who processed my docs, he told me that when you receive the disclosure form through the post then a job offer is imminent. I got this through 2 weeks ago and forwarded it on to Newcastle as instructed. STILL NOT HEARD ANYTHIN!!!!
    I have heard that they are really under pressure and they are all over the place when it comes to recruitment...

    Is anyone in a similar position???
    They had my Disclosure two weeks ago today, I'm waiting on two EO positions at the moment......

    Anyone heard any news on East London vacancies, or has recently started work in that region?
  • Has anyone had any letters following EO interviews in Liverpool Foresight Centre on 15th May?

    What's the IRC for that exercise, if you don't mind me asking? IRC58361was held in April for EO positions in Liverpool, just wondering if this was a separate exercise to yours??:think:
