Hi all,

Just joined today but have been browsing since I got a call to attend an interview for EO on Monday next week. Its for the N/L tests and then if I pass straight to the interview. Job ref is IRC61153, interview at City Ground, Manchester. Any help appreciated. I think I know what to expect on the N/L as they enclose examples with the confirming email but would like to make sure that I have the compentancies sorted - not got loads of time

Thanks

Sheila

Hi Sheila

Like Natomar I also had an interview for this position. My interview was on 3rd Sept. Seems a bit late for them to still be interviewing for this IRC.

Another week without "the call". And I didn't get the date for my second interview with the other company, either, so I'll be spending the weekend doing prep for a HEO interview in London instead.

In other news, I have sent off an email complaint re: 60369 and how my application was handled, as well as seeking an update on 60370.

I'm still amazed by how incompetent this department is at recruitment. And no, the fact so much of it is outsourced isn't an excuse. It's 1/2 of the problem, because DWP is clearly not doing enough to ensure the outsource companies are providing good value for tax payer money.

I emailed the Resourcing Dept., last Friday and have had no response so far. Nobody else seems to have my IRC and I am beginning to wonder if it even exists lol! :rolleyes:

Slitty,
You are living my life :j, I am still waiting for a placement for an EO position at Brighton, and I have been placed on a waiting list for an HEO interview having done the online test last week.

I am happy that you are enjoying your role. Good luck with the HEO interview.

Thanks! Are you waiting for an interview for the same London HEO role 63183 as me? I've done a bit of shadowing of EO's in brighton and most of them seem to have very interesting jobs - I hope you hear soon!

Fivefootsix - yep, I applied for the HEO out of desperation to find a job back when I was still waiting for "The call" :rotfl:

I had to ask my line manager today about having the afternoon off next friday to attend it... I felt a bit guilty since I only started as a Band B a couple of days ago and it's a small specialised team. I was so scared he'd be annoyed or say I wasn't suitable for that kind of role based on my experience but he was lovely about it!

PANNO - WELL DONE! Thats great you got "the call". Really happy for you :j

I have an HEO interview - has anybody had experience of how the interview questions will be put? I have read the competencies but am scared to death :eek:

Hi... posted this on the other thread earlier... didn't realise there are TWO threads!

Hi, didn't realise this thread was here- another in waiting here! irc62542 , Somerset

Timescale so far...

Application closing date - mid September

Phonecall inviting for assessment- last week in Sept

Assessment days 5th & 6th Oct:

Tests on the 5th - test results given within 30mins, those who passed asked back for interview the next day. Advice sheet given on competencies to be covered in interview

Interview day, 6th - All ID checked & photocopied, CRB forms filled, health forms filled etc, then into the interview- which was really easy TBH

Recieved success letter on the 16th, but said they are still waiting on full checks to come back...

...though according to this thread I'll be waiting a long time! :eek:

Anyone else waiting for, or know anything about, the Somerset jobs?

BTW- anyone know what AO wages are? applied for so many jobs I've forgot!

Also- what are the chances of transfer to another office (The one I applied for is nearly an hour away), and what are the core working hours? Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
