    Im in the same boat. I did read earlier that some candidates had received there competency scores but im not sure if they were internal or external. Yes the recruitment team when ever ive rang do seem to give nothing away. Just so frustrating to read on here that other areas seem to be receiving lots of feedback and yet the North East has little.

    Thanks Tinshed, good to know that it's not just me although it would be good if we knew one way or the other!

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I received an email today at 12 noon inviting me to an interview for the Thames Valley area!

    Odd thing is my scores have not been updated so I only have my test results in that area. Guessing they are using the scores from my other area.

    Thank you everyone for all your advice and support. Now I just need to get some advice on interviews for the DWP.

    I see you have received an invitation for interview today, well done. :j

    Mine is still awaiting review, the longer it goes on the more I think they have found enough for interview and will just fail the rest.

    I would rather not say which area yet, I may wish to vent about them at some point. :o



    General question: What email address sends the interview emails? Is it the workforce management team? I want to check my inbox very carefully, just in case.....


    Thank you! I was so delighted!

    Although I still haven't received my competency scores and not only am I curious in general about those, but I would also want them back to help prepare for interview so I can gage which points I should improve on etc. I think I'll give the recruitment line another ring tomorrow...

    No problem - do let me know how you get on! I got the e-mail inviting me to interview from this address: essr.northeast@dwp.gsi.gov.uk.

    Keep checking! I got the e-mail yesterday even though I called the recruitment line on Friday and they told me that I would definitely not get an update until after next week.

    Good luck, Chara!!!

    Hi sammyroser,

    Well done on getting to interview stage!

    I'm in exactly the same boat as you, I've been offered an interview but haven't received ant scores for my competencies. I've been trying to work out what it means - do you think it has something to do with numbers??

    Have you found anything useful in terms if preparing for the interview so far?

    I have my scores for N.London.

    Does anyone know when we should be hearing about interview dates? (if we get to that stage!)

    It seems strainge all these 1s are originating from Birmingham. But instead of getting new scores for Black Country that have just populated their feedback with Birmingham 1s and the feedback said refer to Birmingham for feedback but there isn't any? Can't wait till tomorrow. Recruitment line first then ring work I think
