We share the same interview date, i havnt received any letters either, just 2 calls to my mobile to say i was successful. 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:

Hey Guys,

I am new here and had a question if i may? I applied for a AO position with the DWP had the tests about a month ago and passed them the interview was also on the same day and i managed to do well enough that i got the thumbs up but i have been placed on a waiting list

It said i could wait upto 6 MONTHS before i am contacted and given a start date. Now i have heard you can call someone and find out what number you are on the waiting lists is this correct?

Cheers,

AG

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been away for a while - training is exactly as Venus described so no point adding any more.

Search and stillwaiting - I can't believe you are still here and haven't heard anything. Search I know you were on the same IRC as me, stillwaiting - what is your IRC???

I know the recruitment freeze may have affected most areas but I thought the north west was not included????

Do what you can to chase this - everyday if you have to as your 18month contract starts from the closing date for applications, so if you applied in April 2009 your contract runs out October 2010 etc.

I really do hope you get the call soon - and that goes for the rest of you out there still waiting to hear.

I hadn't realised that about the contracts, oh no..even more depressed now! I've been trying to chase, but can't get anywhere. I know, I thought the freeze didn't apply in North West either! Hope all going well for you. Congratulations Divinelistic. Hi Anthony, you can call resourcing to find out about merit listing, however, this doesn't necessarily mean you will be placed in that order, also it seems particularly difficult to get information at the moment because of the apparent freeze. The good thing, I'm not sure you will feel that though, is that at least you are aware it will maybe take some time...no, that's not really a good thing, I know, but you are prepared for it if nothing else.

Thanks for the reply, forgive me for being a lil silly 'Freeze' ??

I don't think it is actually a freeze, not sure that is correct terminology. They have apparently been reviewing their recruitment and have, apparently, a pause on recruitment until end of October (not in certain areas). Although, as you will see from reading back..lots of people are continuing to be placed and called and interviewed during this.
