DWP employment waiting list
Comments

Never rely on DWP with dates - They hardly ever meet them in my case they havent and has always been the following few days or week(s) later0

Hey samr
Yeah I did the test last night - 1hr long! I found it alright - bit difficult - 36 questions and you have 6 case studys - got to read the passage with figures in and text n they ask you questions on it - lot of maths involved so you need paper and calculator - Its multiple choice too
Good luck
Thanks. I'm off to sign on now :rolleyes: so I'll give it a go when I get back.0 -

Hi All, I had interview for AO 8th march, successful letter 16th march (no mention of a waiting list), disclosure sent back to me on 7th April and phone call 8th April with a start date of 27th April. My problem is...i booked a four day break in june before i had even applied for any jobs and at no point throughout this whole procedure has anyone mentioned holidays to me, admittingly i didnt mention it either however the guy on the telephone said he isn't sure whether they will be able to honour my holiday...arrrrgh..Also, I am still waiting to hear back from several EO interviews and im wondering if i have already started the AO position will i be able to take up EO position if offered? My heads wasted!!!!!0
