Hi everyone, I'm new to posting but have spent a lot of time reading thread. Thanks for all the updates but i just wanted to add my timeline as i got the 'Call' today!!

I applied for IRC 61298 AO Role

25th July: Lit/Num tests
11th Aug: Interview
28th Aug: Success Letter (no mention of waiting list)
5th Sept: CRB received through post (dwp complimentary slip included)
13th Oct: The Call! Start date Oct 26th, 18 month Fixed Term

I actually had my interview for the IRC 62668 EO role today (Maybe this is linked!!) I asked in my interview and the lady that confirmed my start date that if I do get this EO role i will be able to move to the higher band C. Is this true? Should i get a confirmation email?

Also she said that i would have to discuss my hours on the first day of work, is it wrong to ask not to work on Saturdays as i play rugby? Can i just ask for 9-5?

Thanks again!!

And don't believe for one minute that the list will get shorter the older they get:rotfl: Gets longer, and more expensive - and when the list includes a four legged friend that likes to trot around, then you start to worry:rotfl::rotfl:

Hey. Congrats on getting the call, thats fab news! As far as hours go, when i got the call last week i was told that altho in the advert it stated possible 8-8 mon-fri and 8-1 saturday, all offices are currently only operating mon-fri 9-5, however there is the possibility that this might change and we would be required to perhaps change our hours at that point. For now tho, ur rugby should be fine lol.

As for changing from AO to EO, im not sure how that works. I was always under the impression that you would still have to wait on the list for a call for a position at the higher level, cos really, the call u got today wasnt for an EO job so im not sure they would change ur grading just like that. Maybe that office dont need EOs just now etc etc, im not sure x

to all those who have been following my posts re interview today (non dwp)

i got the job!!!!! and start on monday, we can have a xmas and i can now get excited.

i just wanted to thankyou each and every1 of you for all ur kind words, best wishes and the laughs u have given me, these things have really kept me going, i am still hoping the dwp will phone (u dont get rid of me that easy) but if they do i will have a tough decision to make, but for all those others waiting, good luck keep strong and support each other as sometimes all people need are kind words or a bit of help to make them feel worthy again.

Like u all did for me
thanks every1 :d:j:t:j:beer::t

fantastic, well done you so deserve it after all this with dwp and you start the 19th too. Keep in touch with us all though.:t
