Right, interview in the AM. If I'm not ready now, I never will be.To be honest I'm having kittens here.

As the process has been smooth for me so far, I'm fully prepared to arrive and be told it's all a huge mistake!

I'm trying to reduce competence notes down to tiny bullet points to fit on one sheet of paper that will prompt me if I lose my train of thought.

See you on the flip side, I feel like the guinea pig! Should be home for 1ish if I allow an hour (my interview invite has NO time estimate, but as it's 15 mins past the hour I'm assuming 45.

Good luck!:D

Not sure if this helps but I was just printing off docs for the OH when I saw this in the e-mail for his interview

-- If you have applied and been successful at the application stage for
more than one vacancy you will only be interviewed once. Please note
although this notification details only one of the vacancies for which
you have applied we are aware you have applied for other locations.
Your candidate status for the additional locations will remain "on
hold" until the results of your single interview is known. You need to
schedule a slot to confirm your attendance for the vacancy listed on
this notification. Your results from this interview will be carried
across for all vacancies for which you have applied and for which you
have met the standard to be taken forward to interview.

I saw that as well - trouble is how do you know if you have been 'successful' in your other areas unless they e-mail you to say so? My Staffs/Shrops as been on hold for 2 weeks now and only yesterday were my comp scores uploaded by them - but B'ham is the one who I have an interview with. My Black Country application hasn't changed since I completed the online test. Again no indication of if you have done well enough to be considered by them for an interview? Should I expect to see more e-mails in the upcoming weeks connected with BC and S&S?

I'm glad to hear a lot of people are hearing interview news and that things appear to be moving at last. I feel like i am going insane though as I keep checking and still no email or update regarding whether or not I am getting interviewed.
I only applied to North Scotland and my comp scores were 55647

My status has been 'Application on hold. Thank you for progressing your application. We are currently reviewing your application and will contact you shortly.'

Does any one else from this area have any news..??

Im North Scotland too and not heard of anyone having interviews yet. *sigh*

Thank god! Finally had an email to say I have an interview for derby! Great to see others finally getting some good news too

Interestingly though I did ring the RL to check about the tests at interview. I was told there would 'probably' be no need for a test and that it is only required 'in certain circumstances'. They said they couldn't expand though. My guess would be if you got perfect marks or something?! Or really bad marks even? Mines on 13th March though so hopefully someone can just confirm they haven't had to take a test!

Best of luck! Sounds like you're all prepared and will do great

Birmingham applicant here still without competency scores, so annoying.
