Hi all,

Just got a call from someone (who I used to work with at DWP, who now does recruitment for the area). I have got my 3rd choice of location, which is actually benefit delivery and start training on 13th July. She says it's a "proper training course" (many people had great difficulty with the previous training, as she's aware, because it was comprehensive training on one aspect of the work and very little on other aspects which we had to work out for ourselves). I asked her and she said they have over-recruited for my first 2 choices of office so there is no point hanging out for these. I know someone who works there as an AO, we shared a leaving do.

Anyway, closing date 6 April, tests 30 April, interview 6 May, call 2 July, start 13 July = 3 months

:beer:

Congratulations.

Afternoon All,

It seems a lot of you are getting the call with offers of start dates etc., in some cases offers of more than one job and good luck to you all.

I was just wondering how many of us are left dangling who had success letters NOT waiting list letters, from April and before?

I am just wondering if it just the Norfolk area? Please advise if you know anything?

Hi LS
I am hoping for Stockport. What other centres is 57875 applicable to?
i have found out that all my checks are in order which is a real relief. I am stuck to the phone now as i feel that as soon as I am away I will miss the call. it is also reassuring that someone from the same exercise is in the same boat as i feel now that I have not been forgotten.

Hi JDF
We're not after the same office - Stockport would be my last choice because it's the furthest away from me. I would prefer one in north Manchester. The other offices to yours in IRC57875 are Rochdale, Oldham, Bury, Bolton, Wigan, Leigh & Ashton.
What would be your thoughts if you couldn't get Stockport?
I'm now exactly like you waiting for the phone to ring - hoping not to miss 'the call'. So your not on your own!!

Interesting...wonder whether they are running separate training operations in L'pool, Wirral and outer Merseyside etc - it's a big area.

I guess since it's a confirmation letter rather than the contract they will go into all that when we start.

Just looked at a similar ad on the current DWP Vacancies page and it did mention the 8-8 weekday and 9-5 Saturday hours, can't remember if it was the same for our ad.

Don't mind mucking in at busy times and doing some evenings (easier to say in the summer of course!), but wonder what sort of work one would be doing as a customer-facing EO after hours? Would that not reduce the time spent with the customer? I'll worry about that when/if it happens.

I think you will find you will be interviewing till 8
