    I recieved a letter today saying I have been successfull and offering me a place on a waiting list.

    I have another interview next week for the same position in the same area but under a different job reference number, is it worth me going to this interview or wil I just be on the same waiting list twice, that is of course providing I am successful twice.

    No. Different reference numbers mean different recruitment exercises, so go to both. If you're successful at both you'll double your chances.

    I would LOVE to be able to call them to find out what's going on- but I can only call recruitment who say my details have gone across to the job centre involved but won't tell me which job centre it is or give me anybody else to contact. Recruitment say it's out of their hands now so I'm just left waiting.

    from my experiance and from what i gathered from newcastle this is good news - your details go accross to the jc that will be employing you and they then sort out your start date/training etc so you will recive a call direct from them, they may well have to gather a group of people together so can take a bit of a wait but hopefully you will hear soon

    Congrats, I had the same letter too today.

    Don't worry I'm on another waiting list too I guess the more you on the increase chance you might get a job.

    Also I was stupid and could of got a third interview but got the test dates mixed up.

    Anyways, I was just wondering once they have received my CRB check back and have started gathering info on my past experiences, what are the likelihood of a job being available.

    thanks x

    The letter I recieved was very poorly written with spelling and grammar errors throughout.

    Even "be" was missing the e
