SO much for all the scores to be on today. I thought the last recruitment was like waiting for a train to Hogworts but now I am convinced that train would come quicker than the results for this exercise.

Hi, I'm new and have been reading the posts for a few weeks.
I currently work as an AO in Notts but have been an EO on a fixed term contract that ended last year.
I applied to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. Haven't heard anything back yet for any of them but the Derby one has been on hold for about a week.
I spoke with my office manager today and she said there was an error with some earlier applications that had been marked - and staff couldn't put them on the system. They have to be entered clerically (during overtime tomorrow) and the results should be on by tomorrow evening. Think that's only for Notts district though.
Hope this helps.

hi all applied for an EO post Hants area having completed the online test and just found out that i have an interview in a couple of weeks. first time i have ever applied and have a background of 14 years of supporting young people into work and training - including helping them to get benefits/ESA etc. i have looked back at lots of previous posts and there are mentions of competencies and questions asked etc. i received lots of info that i need to take to interview and there was a competency framework included in this info. can i ask does anyone know if this is what they base their questions around ? is there other tests to be completed on the day ? i have no idea what to expect and would like to go fairly prepared.

any help or support on what to expect would be greatly received - including any info on types of questions asked etc. also not sure what people mean when they are discussing in previous posts scores. are you talking about the scores for the online test ? if so how do you know what score you got - no one told me i just received an invite to an interview .....

We are talking about competency statement SCORE, these are scored from 1-9. Are you internal applicant? Which district?
I am glad at least they have started sending out interview letters.

good luck.

I wonder if thats any of them which of had feedback scores but no comments?

I'm going to try my utmost not to check and check again over the weekend and I'll check once Monday morning then again when I get home.

Mommarat, I actually can't believe your scores, you were so helpful giving me feedback, you really seemed like you knew what they were looking for. Something smells very fishy here.:think:

Not saying I am an expert by any means but I think there is room for improvement. These are just my thoughts through many years of working in HR and assessing applications. Based on what I have seen of the process and the documents here are just my views! I have broken it down to make it easier to read.



I think therefore you probably got marks for part of the first section and the last section.

Just my thoughts; sorry if I sound over critical.

Thank you very much, i found your feedback very constructive and useful. many thanks again.:T:T:T

Any scores back for Glouc and west of england. Nothing on mine. Whole process absolute joke! No rationale behind anything and keep you hanging on a string. Not one bit of communication to tell you there was any delay or they were having problems. Deffo needs looking at.

Peed off with checking site, peed off with ringing recruitment line where they have told people so many conflicting information its not even funny

Good luck all still waiting and those who have secured interview
