    Hi All, Congratulations to all who got the call well done:jI got the call yesterday myself but rather strange. Its not the job I applied for they say its still with the DWP but a different part of it and its only temp till March. I looked up the address on the web and I think it has to do with war pensions. Not that happy about it all really but its a job so Im thankful for that. They said I applied for a job centre plus job and they do not have any vaccancies (still grates me why they advertise in the first place) so they have passed the list on to them so I start on Monday at 9.30:confused:
    Well done Leepy, at least its a foot in the door :j
    Good luck For Monday.

    Really? i've not seen line managers names and to my knowledge there has only been a mention of keeping safe and security matters.... not how to!


    I have to agree with scooterchick on this one. I have seen some names mentioned in a post that if I were the manager/workmate in question, I would quickly notice. It may have been done with no malicious intent but your manager may not view it as such.

    Also, some descriptions of the office staff and goings on are graphic enough for the newbie to be recognised by work mates.

    There was a post Sammy made where she mentioned the name of a manager whose husband she works with. My first thought was 'How risky is that?', then I thought maybe as Sammy is in DWP she knows it doesn't matter. So who knows? I know I would not want my name/description banded around in a public forum for whatever reason.
    I can do all things through him who gives me strength....:A

    Hi All,

    Well, just come back from my interview. Think it went o.k. Should find out tomorrow. Only a 6 month temp contract but will keep the wolves at the door !!

    Congratulations to Leepy and still hoping and to all who have had "the call". Let us know how you get on Jessbob. Got my fingers crossed for you too.

    Just going to get settled on the bench now and have a nosey around the forum.

    Take care.
