    Hi,

    CONGRATUATIONS TO ALL THAT HAVE HAD A CALL ON A PLACEMENT !!!!:beer:

    I emailed the person on the recent ltr and got a phone call from a very nice woman a couple of days later.

    Good and bad news for me, I am higher up on the EO than AO Merit List. Was then told that I am more likely to get a position as EO but will be on the next round of recruitment, if and when that accurrs. :eek:

    Just a waiting game now !!!!!:rolleyes:

    I have been reading this thread since I applied for a job with the DWP.It gives a good insight into the actual waiting period.
    I applied for IRC 62995 London and passed the tests .Anyone else applied for this one??
  • Typically....after all the waiting ive done, im due to start on Monday and i have the flu. I feel positively awful lol! Never mind tho, it'll take a lot more than that to keep me away....i'll be there on my first day, bugs/germs and all!
  • Congrats to all who have had the call in last few days. And good luck to everyone starting on Monday! xx

    lol, i emailed Louise Perry and got an out of office reply

    I am out of the office until 02 November 2009. My e-mails will be monitored. If your query is urgent please contact Sue Bowe on 0191 2166238
    Sue was unavailable but a guy called Andy told me everything i needed to know, give it a go, it rung for a bit but he did answer, good luck let me know how u get on

    Ok, forgot to write that number down, then the forum was down till 6 :o

    But, got through to the number on that letter, the person whose name is on it wasn't there but the lady who answered asked if she could help. I basically asked her if she could tell me where I was on the list and would I get a call anytime soon.

    I'm now 90, and she said "looking very good for a December start and a call within the next few weeks", she also stated they were close to me.

    To be honest a December start would be good only if I get to know pretty soon as I am currently working but would like to finish before the end of November, so would help with notice and financial planning, not to mention I have a small holiday end of Nov that current work don't know about as I didn't think I'd be there :eek:

    So it just looks like more waiting this next week for the call. You should be very close to a call with the numbers she said. It's reassured me more speaking to someone though even though it's basically what we already knew.
  • LOL im based in Fife...dont worry, im past the contagious stage haha

    Thanks Maisette :) Im glad your enjoying it so far! Hopefully your jobcentre will be fab too! I actually met the woman who will be doing my training, yesterday. She was lovely so thats put me at ease. I was in seeing my lone parent advisor to sign off all benefits, and the woman came over to say hi. Makes it a bit easier if u have friendly people to work with eh!
