I didn't get any competency marks, just a rejection email. Used to work there as an AO for nine years until six years ago and my partner still works there so I'm confident about writing the competencies (done it many times). Pamoja - where in the district did you work?

Still crossing my fingers for the Welsh-speaking posts as they might not have had as many applying

I previously worked in Merseyside but plan on moving to Wales and the post would have been ideal.

All the best with the other posts.

Seems like only home districts r responsible for taking interview this time and they will share the info later on. Has anyone secured two interviews for different districts? Any idea?

Have just heard from contact in Leicester/Northamptonshire that are only 36 jobs and about 100 have got through to interview. Competencies generally poor but 4 was the pass mark (I got 4,4,5,4,4) sounds if if I am border line - But haven't heard if have got an interview. Interviews start on 2nd March (week on Friday).

I got an interview date at last - whoop whoop!!! Wasnt sure my scores were good enough in the competancies......but they were! Thank Goodness!!! Im so chuffed, never wanted a job as bad as I want this one.....

2nd March 2012 @ 11.30am for Glasgow/Lanarkshire area.....

Anyone had an interview yet, or know what to expect? :-/

That is fantastic - well done and good luck! I also applied for that region and I am still awaiting review. I called the recruitment line today and the person just said AGAIN that people are still getting their competencies marked. I find this hard to believe when they are inviting people to interviews in a week!

I don't think I've got through to an interview but living in hope...

Been following this forum for a while now. I am starting to lose the will to live. I have had my competencies marked and I am 86% percentile. Has anyone from Manchester or North West been offered and interview yet? I am an external candidate.

I applied for the Northwest but still says 'awaiting review' competencies not scored either. I don't hold much hope though as already been rejected based on my competencies for North Wales.

A friend applied for Manchester and he has not heard anything back yet.

On hold to recruitment helpline like for ages now.... Trying to find out what is happening to East London applications as still nothing under feedback (apart from test scores) or communications....

Well, the pass mark for online test for East London was set at... 35% (!!!!!!!) so they are checking competencies of everyone who has scored 35% and above.

They said that HOPEFULLY should have feedback by the end of this week - was told the same last week, it was supposed to be by the end of last week.

Why, I mean WHY would anyone in their right mind set the pass mark for the online test to just 35% giving themselves a massive, MASSIVE task of having to check competencies of so many people is absolutely beyond me to be honest.
