Based on my postcode my 'home' district is BC but it's my B'ham marks which stand [BC is listed as all 1s].
I would have to sign in a BC jobcentre.
I applied for BC first and completed that test first but it's not classing it as my 'home' district.
I think it's because I got higher test scores in B'ham so that was sifted first [just a guess???]

Not sure that is correct as my B'ham scores have been 'zeroed' out as of this past Tuesday (my scores were reset to all 1's from my previously recorded scores) but I still have nothing under Staffs/Shrops or BC!! Staffs/Shrops is definetely my home district - just wish they would get on with letting people know their scores!!!

I live in staffs (just). But live on the border of bc and shrops. So will be a suprise I guess.

Hello. My first post. What a great thread, I. Read THE LOT last night, finished at 3am.

I have an interview for Essex on Monday. Really really nervous and all week is try to memorise my competences with all the necessary jargon and it's proving hard.

All (I've done) that should have said. Silly phone

I'm not sure what's going on then. I defo still have my B'ham scores. My BC scores were listed but changed to 1s the other day. B'ham is NOT my 'home' district. These scores are still listed. BC says 'refer to feedback given by B'ham....'

I haven't heard anything either for staffs/shrops or Worcester for that matter thought we would here one way or the other today just want to get this over now.

I haven't heard anything for Staffs/Shrops either -- had my marks back for North West but haven't heard anything about whether I've got an interview or not.

I agree - confusion is the name of the game here. The DWP has run one of the most confusing and farcical recruitment drives I have ever witnessed. And if some posts on previous threads are to be believed even if you get offered a job it can be months before you actually start - not a great example of getting people working is it!!

Oh well tomorrow is another day and maybe just maybe we'll see some movement on Staffs/Shrops and any other area that still has to receive scores. Mind you receiving scores in one thing - then will come the wait as to whether one gets an interview!!

On the main site under Application Status there a list of red links:

Information regarding Competencies
What you need to bring to your interview
Character form, what is this?
CRB Letter
Pensions Questionnaire
Important Information
Reschedule


The @mail confirmation said there were attachments but they weren't there!!

Character form, what is this?
CRB Letter,where do you get this.
same with this Pensions Questionnaire.

To be fair, it's not really the fault of the DWP. CSR are behind it all;
