Well I have just had a call regarding a position at the Pension Centre in Burnley.
I start on Monday.:beer::j:T:j
Training is from then until the end of March. At least one part of the DWP is still taking people on. I am on 8 merit lists for JCP which go as far back as September. The interview for this one was on a Sunday in December.

I am looking forward to being back at work.:beer::j:T:j:beer:

Either way - we were all told that we would hear in January one way or another and we still haven't.

A fortnight to go - who's betting on them telling us F all??

Going on their track record of keeping us updated with ANY news at all on our applications, likelihood is very unlikely to not at all!

They are probably preparing their next template email to send fobbing off us off for another few months.;)

Received an email from them - doesn't look too promising ...

This must be the standard template we are all going to receive.

Don't they make you feel so special??

50Twuncle

They certainly do
I am contacting my MP to inform him about the total waste of public funds that this "exercise" must have cost the country
I doubt whether it will achieve anything - but it may make me feel better....

Did you receive the email randomly or had you sent an email to this person before hand? How long have you been waiting? - I really think they need to stop telling people they have a job when there aren't any.

50Twuncle

I have been waiting over 4 months and no - I had not been in contact with this person before - I have emailed [EMAIL="RESOURCING.CUSTOMERSERVICES@DWP.GSI.GOV.UK"]RESOURCING.CUSTOMERSERVICES@DWP.GSI.GOV.UK[/EMAIL] which is the "general" email that everyone uses....
The fact that DWP has kept so many people (any idea how many ?) on hold for so long - needs official investigation ...
Whatever any of you do - DO NOT email that link on my original - it will remove ALL your chances (present and future)

Which IRC is it for? Also Is this IRC position in London?
