DWP Recruiting Again - 2012

Thankyou recent posters. It really is poor form to mess around on this sort of subject. I'm worried enough about Monday after not experiencing such a formal interview in two decades, alongside REALLY wanting this job. I know who's posts sound genuine and shall turn a blind eye to childish attention seekers. Now I have cider to drink and competancies to rehearse. Peace :-)
Agreed - have some cider and relax this evening - you can look at your competancies over the weekend . On Sunday evening have a bath and relax again - you are going to be fine on Monday. (And ignore anyone whose name begins with 'wanda' and ends with 'fish')

You probably should look again at your comps depending on what socre you got as they'll be looking to fill the gaps. You maybe asked for more examples though, probably an example of where something hasn't gone as expected and how you managed it is a popular one.
Thanks. I'm sure it will be fine.0 -

I have a "disturb or die" sign ready to go up on the door Sunday. Revise, bath, nails, early night. Fingers crossed!0 -

I'm thinking that my Staffs/Shrops scores should just default to 1s because it's my B'ham scores which count. Can't understand why it still says 'on hold' when this is the case.:undecided0 -
