DWP employment waiting list

filbertchick

Does anyone have an email address for the DWP? I've looked on their website, but really have no idea where to start! Lol! I've got to sign-on on Friday (bleugh!) and I'd like to be able to tell them what's going on with the waiting :rolleyes:

Hi

Had my tests and interview mid September and have heard nothing. The number they provided constantly rings out!

I am in Birmingham and am desperate to find out so any responses are very much appreciated

Well done to all who have had offers and good luck to all who are still waiting

Ref IRC 62504 Executive Officer - Birmingham

My N&L test was 14/09/09 and Competency interview was 16/09/09. If I remember correctly when I attended the N&L test on 14/09/09 there was 450+ applicants for the test, this is what I was told by the manpower staff. The interviews to take place on Wed, Thur, Fri 16-18/09/09.

I received my DWP successful letter today. The letter says I am currently on a waiting list for 12 months and there is no Guarantee of a position.

I rang the number on my DWP success letter and spoke to a real nice gentlemen in Employee Services Resourcing at Newcastle upon Tyne who told me after I enquired that I was 67th on the merit list out of 91 for IRC 62504.

He couldn't tell me much more. However, after some cajoling, he did say that the speed I would move up the list would depend on the turnover of staff for that particular area which he had no knowledge of so could not advise any further.

Based on this I contacted the Erdington JC+ and a lady told me that they had filled most of their available places for EO's and were close to full capacity, albeit she couldn't speak for other JC+ offices in the Birmingham area.

I could not find out how many EO jobs were available. However, I was given the impression that the people recruited during the summer have only just been placed at JC+ recently.

Not sure if this merit list of 91 people has some people from the summer months recruitment drive included plus recruits from September, or if this is just the September recruits?? If anyone knows an answer to this, please let me know.

If anyone else has received a response from the DWP to this recruitment exercise for IRC 62504 Birmingham, please post your response and position on the merit list if applicable. I would be very interested to hear from anyone else and their views to the response received from the DWP.

Thanks - fingers xd to all applicants

Had my disclosure back in September! oh well, back to the drawing board Good luck to you though, hellish long wait isnt it? I have applied for another 7 jobs this week alone, knowing my luck i will get the 'Christmas Colleague' job at savers. :rotfl:
