Wow! Your scores were really good. I'm sure you will be fine. Fingers crossed!

Ah cheers- fingers crossed for you too, I hope you get it! Will see how it goes. I already work for the DWP on an original 18 month contract which has so far had two 6 month extensions. It would be a risk leaving but we're not too confident of extensions this time. Will see what happens.

Yes they told me they add together your test percentage and interview percentage and divide by 2 then the highest scorers get the jobs.

Ah interesting. I was just looking on the site and I don't know my actual percentage, I just know what percentile I was in, which was the 86th.

Hope you get your interview scores back soon, I bet you did well.

I feel less confident now. I think my combined percentage comes to 72%.:(

rockyrach

Anyone heard back yet? Surely theyre going to have to let us know soon so that those in work can give notice to their current employers.

I know, I have to give 4 weeks notice for my current job [that's if I'm successful!].
I vaguely remember my interviewer telling me that I should wait for a letter to find out if I got the job - so now I'm checking my emails, the civil service website and eagerly awaiting the postman. Driving me mad! lol:rotfl:

No feedback here either..........I got 79% in the test thing, but just KNOW from the way I froze during the interview that the results from that are not going to be great. Oh well.............:(

I thought I'd done great in the interview - had lots of examples, spoke confidently and didn't have many follow up questions but I got quite low/average feedback. I wouldn't mind but I used the same examples for a HEO application last year and got through to interview stage!

Goes to show you can't really tell. Just need to stay hopeful!:D
