With a bit of luck it will be subjective and if you get somebody else marking it you might have better luck. Im in the north west aswell. Good luck with the other two apps anyway.

Well I got an interview for an AO job (which is higher than an AA post which I also applied for) and also an interview for an EO post (higher than an AO post) and I got a rejection letter for an AA post-LMAO. No sense in that!

Maybe with all your experience you were overqualified-the DWP love that one! I have loads of friends who work in the DWP-I met my fiance there!

I received a letter yesterday morning asking me to go to an interview to take literacy and numeracy tests (along with a group of people, the letter states) and that should I pass these I will be given an appointment for an interview.

I sincerley hope they wouldn't go through the trouble of testing my Maths and English, if there isn't any jobs available.

Its not that there are no jobs (for the last four weeks there have been over 100,000 new claims each week, the usual average is 40,000!!!) its that the recruitment process is v long and drawn out, they have to do security checks, nationality checks etc, they also ahve to wait for a training window to become available, this is particularly prevelant to jobs in Benefit Delivery Centres, as you can probably imagine the benefits are pretty compelx! Godd luck with the interview process.
