DWP employment waiting list

dugdale_2

I've been in my role for 12 months (personal adviser JCP) and am loving every minute of it. Yes my days are busy (today had two advisers phone in sick so I had 5 extra interviews to slot in to my diary) and I always end up working through my tea breaks and have a short lunch break most days but I wouldn't say that my job is at all stressful. I'm lucky in so much as I was offered a permanent contract however I did resign from a permanent job to take up this role. I've learnt a great deal about myself over the last twelve months and feel that working at JCP has made me a more tolerant, caring person than when I worked in industry.

i can honestly say i have never been happier in a job and will be devastated when my contract runs out. i work with lovely people and never a day gos by where our manager doesnt come round and say thank you to us all. as a matter of interest our new claims have doubled in the past two weeks. is this a sign that this new goverment are doing things wrong already. hello to all my old friends on here.:)

I reckon that once they have got rid of all the existing FTAs they will start recruitment again for another batch:eek:

That would be history repeating itself after the last time that happened.

Remember whatever happens is for the best....thats the way i look at life, maybe the DWP wasnt for me. Good luck everyone

Congratulations on getting a job with O2. Did you have to do an online test for the job, and then attend an assessment centre? Do you need retail experience to apply?

Just apply online and then you get a telephone interview which is followed by a face to face interview and role play. I must stress this is for a customer service advisor. Some customer service exp is required as all questions are based on customer service. Hope that helps

Hi. Thanks for the advice re. the O2 jobs. I just might try them, as I badly need a job and am getting more and more disheartened and dispirited every day.
