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.0 -
Yes they told me they add together your test percentage and interview percentage and divide by 2 then the highest scorers get the jobs.Debt 2012 - [STRIKE]1600[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]1200[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]1180[/STRIKE] 1150:j
All owed to my long suffering mother and father. No interest accruing debt left :j0 -

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.0 -

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:0 -
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.............:(0

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!:D0
