Why? Did the helpline tell you that?

Birminghma Scores all updated on 1s today, so we're sticking with the BC scores then...


Still no 'thanks but no thanks', so the relentless refresh cycle continues.

Have you received BC comp scores? Mine still shows 'your application is awaiting review'!!

There are so many things that they could have done to make this entire process less stressful and fairer - but so far most things they have done (or not done) have been illogical and farcical to say the least. The fact I had good scores for B'ham but now have all 1's with no reference to other scores/districts and the fact the other districts show awaiting review with no scores is frustrating. If I hadn't had this board to reference that would have totally freaked me out. Goodness only knows when Staffs/Shrops will score me as they have been on hold now for over a week!

I'm waiting on staffs/shrops too. But one thing I have to say for them they have been consistant. Lol

Its just been so helpful having people to talk to who are going through the same stage....

Thats some of the people on my floor getting their rejection letters now, so I would feel bad asking them for help or what they think is happening next.

Just so thankful for this site

I am so grateful I found this thread, so many lovely helpful posters.

It is upsetting that some areas are dealing with this process so badly, rating all 1s for competencies is cruel, better to say they have not been assessed, which is probably the truth.

Note to self, be more organised with paperwork!

The reason being I am having a nightmare trying to find 3 years worth of either p60's, payslips or letters etc. Also just remembered I need to get a passport picture done.:eek:

Why oh why do they insist on having all this stuff in advance I do not know. I've used a ton of ink printing everything out.

Good luck to everyone that has an interview. Looks like I will be attending mine still with no knowledge of what my competancy scores are. Will I ever find out? Who knows?

I wanted to ask about the passport photo. In the email it says you will not be interviewed without one but the documentation listing what you must bring to interview does not mention a passport photo, only some form of photo ID.

That then brings in the matter of age if I use my passport; under Equal Opps employers are not supposed to ask age, sex, marital status etc. Anyone with children on their passport are supplying information that could not be requested.

I have not had my competency scores either, it would be useful to know how weak or strong they were if I want to use them again. My area were sifting competencies as my usual adviser was involved, not available when I wanted advice about them.

Hi guys,

Need help from people who have been offered an interview.

There are six documents that are available under view attachments that I need for my interview but cannot access as my internet times out before they load. Is this just me or is it a wider issue?

Many Thanks

I could not access the links but the same documents (I assume from the names) were attached to the interview email.

Still waiting to hear back on my application for Kent, test results and competencies are in but still no word as to whether I've gotten through to the interview stage or not...

Yes: last Wednesday.

They've GOT to be nearly done now, surely.

Hiya I have been following for a while, completed the test on the day before it was due as was only told by the job centre that day! Assesment was 58th centile so didnt think I had a chance and still dont really as some of the scores on here were amazing! Sift still says awaiting review? This is Bham but I actually wanted Worcester but had major problems with the worcester assesment as it kept freezing so reapplied for Bham.
