OMG - never ever thought to check there, only ever looked at "feedback" ... LOL

Still, nothing there since 25th Jan.. sigh

And "awaitng review" under feedback....

Hello, those were exactly same as my scores and I got an interview today so don't think it's game over yet. Good luck

I also got 4,4,4,4 and 5 with a comment that one response was better for another category! Still haven't heard if I will get an interview. Was very despondent, the comments on here have given a glimmer of hope. Thanks for all who have posted.

I checked my scores for North London - 5, 4, 4, 5, 5. The comments were positive though - "great example", "evidence shown" etc etc. I still can't help feel disappointed as I worked so hard on my comps. Still waiting to hear from East London but I've kind of given up hope.

Good luck to everyone who gets an interview :T

Hi
If I remember correctly the security check for this job application was a CRB disclosure.
Quick question does the DWP directly obtaining the CRB or will I have to apply for it myself & send it to them.
Thanks

just looked at my feedback again and it says if you are an external candidate your sift scores will automatically be carried over to all other districts, but if you are already a civil servant they will be marked differently for each district. Why the difference and unfairness?

The CRB forms are completed when you attend your interview (that's how it was done when I applied 2 and a half years ago)

Hi folks,
Been a long-time lurker on here and appreciating all the feedbacks, tips and advice.
Has anyone heard anything as an external candidate for Northumbria/Tyne & Wear? I am completely frustrated with the wait and wondered if there may still be a light, albeit a very dim one, at the end of the tunnel? I've spoken with the Recruitment Line several times and feel I'm just being fobbed off with very generalised responses.
Is there anyone in the know here?
Thanks in advance!

I don't see this anywhere in my feedback. :question:

Executive Officer/Band C Staffs and Shrops - Application on hold

Executive Officer/Band C Black Country - Situation Test complete

Executive Officer/Band C Birmingham and Solihull - Situation Test complete

No change at all in my application for around 7/8 days now and no sift scores for ANY of them yet.
My last communication was 21st Jan.
I wish they'd just tell me so I can get over it lol.

The multiple scores of "1" that some people have reported sound very strange - hopefully down to system error, but if not then I can't help but think it sounds like the markers have just done this to get through some of the heavy workload...
