    anyone want me to post the actual interview scorecard that DWP use? lol - should be funny! I'll have a root through my dongle later and see if its still there! If so it'll be here 2mw!

    Would love to see this never-in doubt....Not sure if I will ever here from DWP- I have applied for EO post, but don't worry I am not an egotistical maniac and don't believe that anyone is better than anyone else, no matter what their position is, its about the job and salary for me!;)

    PT will be an option, you need to realise that training is full time so usually in training they give you a bit of paper and ask for preferences, i.e. site preference, hours, front line/back office etc etc so wait til you end up on training then you'll be fine.

    Only 1% of applicants drop out at training, you'll get what you want ;) cos its throughout/after training that you meet your 'soon to be line manager' who will then ask you what you want to do etc and explain things in detail.

    Hi Never-in-doubt,

    Thanks again for your positive comments. I am confused as to why the guy at business services said this wouldnt be an option then:confused: I realise any training is full time and wouldnt be a prob at all.

    Many Thanks, you have been a wealth of knowledge today!

    LOL, you serious? A dongle, ya-no, a USB thing that stores data lol

    I'll have a look tonight and if I still have the scoring model i'll post it, it actually highlghts the keywords required to pass interview and also the application scorecard (i.e. the competency key words and scoring chart).....

    The guy at business services told you that you would have to work FT? Even though you applied for PT? He is wrong, quite simply. Just head to training and then when there you mention it, they will bend over to keep you once you're in :rolleyes:

    Don't worry... you'll be fine :D

    Looks like Merseyside district wants more EO's. Advert went up on DWP jobs page.
  • Hi,

    IRC60734

    Is there anyone here waiting to hear about JC+ positions in Dorset? I had my CRB back 3 weeks ago...nothing since.

    I'm for IRC61569, I got my CRB form also back about 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing since. However, since there is a 'freeze' on recruitment I don't think the majority of us will hear anything until the end of October like DWP are officially saying. Hopefully though some of us will be lucky and hear something before then. All we can do is wait i'm afraid.
