    I don't mind looking at them but if you haven't had your feed back yet I would wait and see what they say as it gives a description with your mark. So you may be worrying for nothing

    I've PM'd you - I have my feedback scores but no comments under any of them, it just says under each 'see previous comment'...there is no previous comment!!:mad:

    Does anyone else have scores with no comments?
  • Hi everyone,

    has anyone heard anything back from Kent or South London?
    My kent application has been on hold since last week and South London still shows situation test complete
    I got 86% on the tests and the waiting is so frustrating :(
  • Low and behold the main story on BBC news this morning is that "Unemployment is again on the rise"
  • IMO from what I've read throughout this forum I am thinking that on hold means you may have got a 3 in one of your competencies but have done well in the other ones so they are putting your app on hold as there might be a chance to get to an interview

    That's my guess anyway ...

    I'm estimating results for BC to be out 2pm.... Off for a haircut and gym I go

    By the time they get all this completed they'll need to start recruiting again !
  • Hello, yet another newbie who has been avidly following this thread. I have applied for North West, got 98% in the online test, but waiting (like tons of others) for the competency results :-/
    Really hope we do all hear by next week. I go on holiday Mid March and have everything crossed that the interviews (if I get one) would be conducted before then.

    Its so frustrating for everyone who is waiting, glad we have this place to hang, and share our thoughts.

    First ever post in MSE!! I've been a nosy follower for years, but I am finally taking part :-)

    Wow 98% - you must have got a very high score in the second part I would guess ?

    Good luck.

    Hi

    First time on here!

    I received an invitation to 1st interview on 11th February, 2012 by email and have booked the interview slot - however, I have no knowledge of the sift scores for competencies (not in my feedback section). This is for the Hants & IOW region. I have applied for Wessex too but have heard nothing from that region and have no sift scores either.

    Well that's thrown a spanner in the works!!:rotfl:

    Were Hants and IOW internal or external?

    I have checked my Staffs/Shrops application - still no feedback...

    Re: the massive difference in my sift scores - I had a look at the civil service website and managed to find the page where it lists all of the departments and each and every one has an email link to contact them [for any non-technical related query] APART from DWP [JCP]. They have a telephone number only. [0845...]

    Does anybody know where I could get the contact email/postal address?

    I would imagine you have a good case for at least getting an interview in the area which was lower marked. I am hanging my hopes on my competencies being marked higher in the second area I applied for, especially if yours are anything to go by!:eek:
