DWP Recruiting Again - 2012

Can I also just remind everyone that there are a lot of people talking about this thread and directing more and more people to it all the time. It's not a secret forum you know.

I've got a feeling that the bar for black country must have been set fairly high. I got through on my others (to competency stage) but, with 85% black country is still situation test completed.

I have been reading this post for a while now and I am completely and utterly at a loss as to what exactly MarkyMark has done to deserve such negative, spiteful comments.

"I just hope you do not get a job" and "you exhibit everything that is horrible about staff in the public sector" - well I work for JCP so that makes me "horrible" does it.

You tell me what this job is "really about" because I would love to hear your views!!!

I am sorry if my post came across like that. I am neither negative nor spiteful thank you. I have worked a long time in the Public Sector too. However, it seems that Local Government has a much clearer appreciation of the general public's need for assistance and decent customer care than some of the people posting here.

My black Country status still says 'situation test completed' but my [rather poor] sift scores are listed under 'feedback'.
Good luck!

I made applications for two Scottish districts. One is 'on hold' but no scores have been posted yet.

Nothing for any of my other applications either...

I'm pleased to see that someone did really well, but from the response on here I'll be unlikely to post my scores when I do get them.

Still 'awaiting review' for me. Oh well, it looks like action is at least being taken now. I'm hopeful to find out one way or another by next week.

Hi Shizaz, I have got scores back for SE Scotland (I didn't do terribly well!). I think it was posted last Friday.

For the competencies:

Managing People and Performance - Behavioural Rating 3 Managing People and Performance - Behavioural Comment Very few positive behaviours displayed
Operational Delivery - Delivering a Professional Service Rating 3

Overall rating:

And for the test:

Overall Score (percentile): 65%

Oh well, that'll teach me not to rush to complete the application before reading the guidance notes properly. It's still showing "under review", but I'm not holding my breath.

Hope all those waiting receive their scores soon!
Best of luck to you and remember it is not the end of the world if you score low.(My scores 4,4,3,4,3)

Well done to Marky mark ...I think you have the highest scores on here!! I am curious to know where you currently work ...are you able to disclose this?

After scoring 44343 I have just noticed my application is still
"on hold"...has anyone actually received an email to say they did not get to the interview stage yet?
