    Just thought I'd update you all -
    I've applied for S.Wessex and have been invited for interview at midday today. I'm so delighted, was really beginning to feel totally disheartened about the whole thing. It also seems even stranger, somehow, to have finally heard some news on a Saturday!

    Good luck to everyone, keep checking those inboxes!!!

    Now to prepare... (eeeek!)

    Well done :T

    Nice to see some good news and that things are finally moving!

    Good luck :)

    I have just received a similar entry from Derbyshire. Each rating is a 1 and the comment says - Yorkshire to input.

    Not good news for me as my Yorks scores were poor.

    Maybe they've just run out of time ?
    I think they were told to pull their finger out and havent read some of the comps just to clear their backlog. I am hopeing someone internal will spot this. I will be calling work on monday:mad:

    Has anyone had any feedback from South Yorks
    My status is the same
    54% percentile
    15/24
    238/336

    Guess I haven't done enough, as I only filled in the one competancy to move on to the next stage of application :(

    Hi

    I got my sift scores from S.Yorks yesterday - pretty bad ones too.

    I'm not sure what you mean by only filling in the one competency?

    Mommarat i have same message now for Black Country saying refer to feedback scores for Birmingham, even though no feedback notes are given, i know that other people in the process have been marked separately by BC and Birmingham with major differences in scores for the same competencies, why have we been treated differently?
    Its not just us. I have had PMs from others about this but I am not going to say names because that wouldnt be fair
  • Hi, just to let you know just after I posted my last comment I checked my email and yay I've got an interview. You've done better than me so you should be absolutely fine :) xx


    Well done you,:j fingers crossed for me. What did you score in the online test dont know if they look at both of them before you get an interview.

    Only got my sift scores today and you got yours back last week so maybe they are looking at them in date they sifted. I sooo hope i have got an interview. Did you get the interview on cs website or personal email

    Let me know how you get on hun and congrats again:T

    xx

    Can anyone shed some light on what it might mean that my competency scores have not been put up and it still says 'awaiting review on the website' BUT I've been invited for interview.

    Does this mean they haven't been looked at?

    Well done, 7's are great.
    I'm sorry I'm not having a go at you personaly but that is just as general as others I've read on here who scored much lower for their examples.

    To read also that some people are now only being marked from one district when they applied for several whilst others have been marked seperatly for each and the scores varying wildly, there seems little fair about this recruitment process.

    Still awaiting my comps to be scored...

    I accept your opinion but from what I saw from the one's I read last night, people weren't selling themselves. You only have 200 words to write a situation from the start to the end telling them exactly what YOU did. My example used 'I' 13 times in it.
    I do agree that for someone to get 7 in one district and 2 in another for the same example is absurd! I can only imagine that it must boil down to the person marking the competencies.
    I wish you the best of luck with yours.
