    Bizarre view from someone who claims to want to work in a jobcentre! Think we need to get back to the subject really!

    Correct.

    So why are so many people applying to work for the DWP?

    Just got all 1's for West Yorks!!:mad:

    Recruitment helpline have given me an email address to send my issues to, as they agree 'it should not have happened' especially as I used the exact same competencies for each application.


    Thats shocking. I've sent you a PM, if thats ok.

    This is the worst application process I've ever been part of. I know nothing can be absolutely perfect, but this is all so disappointing. My Derbyshire still says "application On Hold" (whatever that means) and my S.Yorks still hasn't been marked yet -I'm bracing myself for a run of "convenient" 1's on that one.

    I don't know if you noticed, up there in your cosy friendly village/town, but there are 3 million unemployed countrywide, so any chance at a decent job will be jumped on.

    Have you sent your email. I did mine this morning nothing to loose. Cut and pasted results to email. I just want everyone to do the same because it's the only way anything will get done. Even if you have had different scores for the same comps in different areas.
  • Has anyone received any competency scores in Notts or Leics?

    The DWP audit all their processes at some point, would like to be a fly on the wall when they audit this recruitment! Hope you get a positive response from your email. :)

    If so can you please post it on this thread ?
