DWP employment waiting list

AJ1183

I JUST GOT MY CALL!! Still in shock! A nice man phoned and asked if I still wanted the job...think I said yes about 3 times! He went through several locations of which there was no option for the Birmingham city centre ones which I was hoping for but will be working in Selly Oak starting on the 7th December!! I am so pleased

Here is my quick recap of events:
applied in August
Interview Sept 18th
Letter Oct 21st
CRB back Nov 14th
Call TODAY! Nov 24th

Also I was no. 15 on the list so looks they are working their way down and he offered me a choice of about 8 different locations so there's got to be a good number of positions available.

Good luck to everyone else waiting! :j:j:j:j

Congrats to you mate, you can crack that bottle of bubbly you mentioned in another post! I'm not too far down the list from you for 60811 so I shall be keeping my phone with me at all times the next week or so! Thanks for the update, much more usual that the standardised replies from Geordie-land.

Evening all, congrats to all who have received the call recently :j.

I had my second day today. It was quite boring tbh as I can't do much until I get access to the computers. I did some shadowing and some reading.....

Can anyone tell me how long it generally takes to receive your computer access card?

Also, in my letter confirming my start date it said to take my bank details and NI No. But they haven't asked for any of this yet. Is this because I don't have a staff number yet?

Update:D

Rang JCP at Leeds this morning. The Contract is now fixed term until the end of November 2010, and starts 18th January. Had a choice of only 2 locations. I know that no job is safe at the moment, but bit freaked out about the thought of being 'disposed of' at the end of November next year

You'll need these details as soon as you're set up on RM and have your smartcard so take them in with you each day, NINO will be used as your password when you first log in to RM and obviously once you get in RM you can enter your bank details allowing them to pay you!

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to my start on Monday and have been reading f.dennis' posts with interests as I'm sure I'll be doing similar this time next week.

One thing though, I've still not recieved my letter from them! I got the call a couple of weeks ago now saying to start on Mon 30th at 9.30am and they'd send me a letter confirming this, but here we are on the 24th Nov with no letter. Has anyone else had their letter come very close to their start date?

I'm not too concerned but it is a bit strange!
