DWP employment waiting list

what number are you ringing?

I have childcare issues but as long as it is after school goes back I will be ok and as that is next week I can't imagine it will be a problem.

Wow, got through straight away on that number, unfortunately the women I spoke to isn't dealing with IRC60540 so she has taken my details and is going to get someone to call me back.... shall I hold my breath? hmmm. lol.

Just contacted newcastle again and found out I'm number 2 on the merit list for 60369!!

Great news

I'm a straggler; should have an interview this week for 60369, but not actually been told day and time yet.

60370 doesn't even have a merit list yet, also because they're still interviewing.

Been 5-6 weeks since the big mass of interviews for these positions were originally done. DWP seems to be pretty slow getting their recruitment stuff organised. I suspect it's because so much of the process is outsourced, and too more than one company. Also because they're apparently still not standardised on whether they do the online test or the older sit-down style lit & num tests.

I'd advise not . I've lost track of how many times someone from DWP has promised to call me back. Really easy to remember how many times I have received a callback, though: zero.

she wasn't dealing with my EO post(s) but she still looked them up for me. I guess it's pot luck.
