Does anyone know if they've started sending out interview/rejection letterst?

SG.

Well I am taking my typed out competencies in with me and I shall ask if they mind me referring to them. If they do I shall remind them it is an interview and if they want an audition they are in the wrong profession.

I AM BRICKING IT REALLY.

SG.

In precisely 48 hours it will be almost over and I can continue with my life.

Have you prepared any other examples?

Hi, I have been a longtime lurker and have found this thread really useful.

Just received comp scores for westLondon 5,5,5,6,6 and 92percentile. I hope that's enough to secure an interview. Good luck to everyone. X

JUST got an email to pick an interview slot (East London).
Funny to see the poor English/grammar in the email actually....

Picked one for mid march... just for fun (should be at work by then follwoing my offer from yesterday's interview).

The dates were going till 29th of March - the available interview slots for East London so whoever really hopes for those jobs... still has a very, very long wait.....

No competencies feedback, still "under review" but new tab on the left when I logged on following the email with "First Interview" something and clicking on that - dates/times came up.

Just got an email confirmation for my booked slot....

I'm taking a few with me. This whole experience has taken over my life. Who'd have thought this job would mean so much to us? It just goes to show how our lives have changed so much over th last few years. I want it more than anything now after putting all this effort in.

Can I just ask if anyone here applied under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme and if so, what your experience has been?

Got apps in for North and East London, no word from either, though looks like East London sending out interview invites.

Nothing there at all, and I have only applied for East London....

The interview slots were for Commercial Rd, this is one of the location I said on my A/F that I was NOT interested in (or Hackney or Dalston) and still this is the location they sent me as interview location. Perhaps all East London's interiews are scheduled for there, no idea but definitely not interested in Commercial Rd myself - Barking, Ilford, Leytonstone, Stratford and close by... not further than that.

Still, I had a verbal job offer yesterday so hopefully all paparwork will be sorted by the 12th and my starting date confirmed - then will withdrew my application for DWP... Better safe then sorry...
