I know it's difficult but you will have to be patient. Then one day out of the blue and when you're least expecting it you will get THE CALL. Most jobcentres are now desperate for staff but it's the logistics of 'housing' everyone since they've closed so many offices down. They need space in the offices to accomodate staff. But THE CALL will come soon.

welcome and congratulations on your start date. May I ask you did you get the jobcentre of your choice or only given one option and did they mention saturday or evening hours that you may be required to do. I have applied for London district and awaiting start dates.

Thank you.
Bromley was my first choice. At my interview i was asked if i would be able to work untill 6pm on some evenings, but nothing else. I have noticed recently that the positions being advertised are for the hours between 8 till 8 weekdays and 9 till 5 weekends. so I did ring Bromley yesterday to discuss this. They told me that Bromley has no plans to open on Saturdays but that I may be required to work till 8 during the week. I explained that had Saturday been mentioned at the initial application stage I would not have applied for the job, so fingers crossed.

The wait is starting to really annoy me now, been out of work for a few months and I'm losing £150 a month before I even contemplate going out!

The job I've got is a finance administrator post so it's not even demand driven, just waiting on the business to draft people in...

at150

got another call today. starting 14 september. they will be sending out details to me in post, contract, working hours etc.

I find this interesting - I was told just "normal" office hours.

Working til 8 would surely be quite cool - that's going to mean mega-flexi days off, no?. (I've often done 8pm nights working for stupid high-pressure software houses for no other benefit than not to get sacked.)

Hey Orb

I think it might be a question of starting at 12pm rather than flexitime. I had the same situation as you travelling hundreds of miles for meetings - early starts and late finishes. It will be nice to just work 37 hours and in a office close to where I live.

I tried Erdington yesterday as it is the main office in the region but it rang out. I rang Newcastle again and was told that basically the vacancy holders (must be more than one?) in the Birmingham area were in a meeting yesterday receiving some harsh words from their manager as there were loads of people whose checks were cleared but were still waiting and so i should definitely be hearing asap. Again whether this is true or not?

So anyone still waiting for EO in Birmingham from the March/April interviews, we should be hearing soon (or not :rotfl: )
