Aww bless you! Thanks for all your help too. Wishing you loads of luck for your new job, you deserve it. Make sure you pop in and see us and let us know how you're getting on as no doubt most of us will still be in this thread for many more months waiting for that call.0 -
Has anyone heard anything or been posted for IRC 62644, Northwest (Cheshire, Halton & Warrington)? I know a few have received a preference sheet via email - have you heard anything since..?
Sooo, let the day begin - will we hear anything, or will we be dissapointed again at 5pm?:mad:0 -

it is us who should be thanking you for the entertainment and support you have given to everyone on the forum. It seems that most of the members of longstanding have now found jobs. I have only been waiting since August so perhaps I have a month or two of waiting yet.
Best of luck to all those starting in the near future.0 -

DWP have lost out on you, as I'm sure you can see with all the kind messages you have received, let us know how its going please!

I am so angry right now. I have just got a call saying they need to re-shuffle the allocation of jobs and that I now have to be posted somewhere else !! I was all set to work in one office in Cardiff working for the Nat Ins Team, now I've been told I'm working in a different office doing front line or admin booking !!
Can they do this ? I'm so p*ssed off right now.0 -
Hi all, I've been lurking for a couple of days.
I applied for IRC62404 AO West Midlands. I had the interview on 15th September (roughly) and I got my sucess letter on the 8th October. So just waiting for the checks to go through. The letter didn't say anything about a waiting list so I presume I'm on the merit list. So like a lot of peeps on here I'm playing the waiting game lol
Very well done to you all who have started work/have had a start date :beer:0 -

I'm sorry, I know how excited you were. I would imagine its a case of someone jumped in and offered jobs before a senior manager had ok'd things.
As for can they do it? Thats up to you as to whether you play the game. You could try speaking to someone more senior, do I recall that you originally applied for somewhere other than Cardiff? Is that where they are now saying you will go?"You've been reading SOS when it's just your clock reading 5:05 "0
