DWP Recruiting Again - 2012

gettingready

Frankly I can not even be bothered to check the "status" any more to be honest.

One can not log on and stay logged on to their website and just refresh, that logging on few times per day to see "in progress" killed any "will to live" in me by now....

Fingers crossed for tomorrow..hmmmm Interview for another job, one applied for around a week ago and not a MONTH ago...

Hey I have an interview on the 29th and I am also very nervous :eek:
Have you been padding out your competencies or just revising what you have got? Are you going to think of any more examples?

Any chance you could let us know how you get on and what the interview process was like?

I have been, then worrying and changing my mind. I spoke to an old collegue from my old dpt who is on interview panel in that dept and she said to stick to work related scenarios and not to worry if they ask why did you do that etc, they are just trying to gain your train of thought. They have aas many questions about the competency system as we do, but it is all we have right now. I will post how it went, but it appears all will come down to each district doing/having their own way of thinking.

Does anyone know how to appeal the marking procedure for the competencies?

I got 7,7,4,6,5 for Glasgow and have an interview but 5 x 2 for West of Scotland and want to challenge the difference in the scores. How can the same competencies be seen so differently!

I went back in yesterday after emailing CSR and my second scores have now been changed to all 1's and refer to Glasgow scores so that's a relief. I think you just get the mark for whichever District marked you first as there are 4 of us at work who had the Glasgow one marked first and have those scores regardless of where we live.

As for interview process, we have been told buy our SEO to expand on our original competencies (obviously work on the lower scoring ones to make them stronger) and prepare a second example for each compentency too. You will probably be asked questions about your first examples which you haven't answered within the statement.

As for the forms I believe you just click on the red link and it will take you to the forms.

I find it strange how you are the only one on the thread that has been given an interview for Birmingham and Solihull!?

Wonder if this means those that have not received an interview email by now have been unsuccessful?

Just got my results through for Greater Manchester......

Not good! 43332 on the competencies and 83% online test. Not holding out much hope.

Although it would seem the likelihood of interview is based on the scores of other applicants in your region not necessarily your indivdual scores.

Still don't think its enough though!!
