Also, it is the location that you applied to that gives you the start date not Newcastle:)
This is for the permenat posistion! to all those still waiting do not give up hope!!!

Congrats mate. It would appear these things are now having a defined pattern. My DS was on 4th August and I got THE CALL on 10th August. Yours was on 5th Aug and THE CALL on 11th Aug.

Congrats again...and to those still waiting..... won't be long now.

Boo. The letter I got from the site when I went for tests and got my interview letter still says Newcastle.

Congrats to all anyway, I'm not bitter at all

Dear All

i got my letter today stating i was successful at interview but i was put on a waiting list for 12 months, no mention of pre recruitment checks, until a job is avaiable. So does this mean i was ok , but not the best and that others have been offered and if they don't like it, drop out il get a call?

pants!!!:mad:

hi

i know they also told me hopefully for start in september if succssful but they did also say wouldnt hear for 3 weeks. however looking at other peoples comments it seems its takingmuch longer than 3 weeks to hear back after interview plus then they have to do crb check etc so dont think they really have a set time. keep me posted when you hear then and ill also let you know.

good luck

Hi,

Can someone explain the advantages & disadvantages between working at the Jobcentre dealing with people or working at the BDC?

I have just received the call and similar to another person a few posts ago, have been offered the job at the BDC. I just want to know what the difference is. Which would have a more job security?

In keeping with previous posts my timeline is as follows:

Online test: early June
Interview: 26 June
Success letter: 25 July (dated 24th), and put on a waiting list, which i later found to be in position 58!
The call: 11th August
Start: 1st Sept

Pretty quick compared to some. Even though its upto 18 months, i wondered about the chances of it being increased or becoming permanent, better chance of that at jobcentre or BDC?
