    Yep, its my home district, and no, i didnt apply for any other areas, so its not looking good :o

    You know, one thing we all have to remember though is how capable we all are, and, tbh, if DWP think im not good enough, its their loss, and the same can be said for a good many who have posted on this thread.

  • Hey all,

    Might be worth checking the website if you're coventry/warks/worcs. I haven't received an email but just logged in and got an interview invite! Yay :) Looks like they're interviewing on Saturday and Sunday next week.

    Black Country is still Sit test complete.

    Good luck everyone.

    I don't know how they can score anybody all 1s...
    I have applied to Staffs/Shrops and haven't had anything through from them. It's not my home district though -- I've had my scores through from my home district (NW) but no news about whether I have an interview or not :/

    Just got an email (at exactly 14:00h) inviting me to the interview for East London. As with other cases there are no scores on competencies in the feedback section.
    My former manager at JCP told me that the East London district had most applications of all so it looks like the wait is almost over. Good luck to us all.

    Well done. :) Well done GettingReady too - that's ironic that you got an interview just after landing an NHS job, they all come like buses don't they? :D

    Mine still shows "Awaiting Review" - not that I expect an interview, of course. :cool:
  • Just got scores for staffs, all 1s, says refer to BC scores, BC says refer to Birmingham scores, Birmingham says all 1s with not one word of feedback, was marked by them last friday evening when obviously they just wanted to go home. not happy at all, good luck everyone!

    Now all I have to do is win the lottery so I won't have to wait for any "buses" anymore:)

    Played it since it began - never won more than £12.50 on any of their games. I figure I'm due for a big win to make up for that someday. :D

    Brum seems to be quite slow. A friend of mine is still waiting for his comp scores. Eek.

    My test score was 71 but when I spoke to Recruitment Helpline they have told me that for East London the pas mark was only 35%


    35% wow.

    ok so far i haven't been able to apply any logic, so this attempt is a long shot...
    can I also ask what letter your surname begins with?

    quo vadis - commercial road too or a different location? just wondering...


    spiral galaxy - thanks, booked the DWP interview too but for mid march as by then should have a written offer for the other job (which I prefer anyway as it is back into NHS where I have quite a few years pension, extra A/L entilement etc etc), no counting my chickens till then

    had a job offer once some time ago which was later witheld (UNISON from all people) due to unsatisfactory references from my then &%%$%£ manager who made my life hell for years till I just left..grrrr

    should be ok now but still... holding on

    poiyut - there may be some logic to your thinking as my surname starts with B ;)
