    Wish I were nosy and could have a peep on my scores too.. Even then, I was not even wearing my glasses..eh.still counting days... 6 days to go even to hear back scores. They decided to keep the score secret until everyone has been taken interview.... But good that some districts are sifting interviews scores and communicating efficiently. I wish that were the case in Scotland too. I got my interview early just wanted to avoid the stress of waiting... But what will be will be...

    I do know what you mean especially as some areas have had interviews and scores back from their interview while we are still waiting for sift scores but then they will have to wait until we know one way or the other before being placed. Just as an aside I got a new puppy on Saturday and this has given me a new focus and what will be will be. Not that I am telling everyone to rush out and get a new pet but maybe find something to focus on doing otherwise all this waiting which is rediculous will make you depressed. I know for a fact one of my areas finished sifting 3 weeks ago so why the scores aren't on I don't understand. Did you apply for more than one area?

    I applied for Kent and was sifted there but got a 3 and a rejection letter but my letter said that i would receive feedback from my other areas and that this letter only applied to Kent (or something along those lines) am starting to think that my rejection letter was across the board even though my feedback for competencies hasn't been carried across :(

    Love the idea of having a puppy - what have you named him/her?

    I have been for my interview and only took my passport, they photocopied this and did not need an additional photograph :)

    In the e-mail inviting you to book an interview it states towards the bottom the following:

    You must bring withyou a photograph of yourself which is passport sized which we will retain. This is used for identification purposesonly. It is essential that you bringthis along otherwise we will be unable to interview you.

    I would certainly have one with you when you go for your interview

    I appreciate you pointing that out but there really was no need to be quite so rude in doing so - but that does not justify your sarcastic and rude comment to me in your message after I had asked very politely for a pointer to the comment.

    I will conclude with wishing you well for your interview.

    I noticed the patronising tone in the message too, but dont worry about it. There comes times in your life when people use a tone thats unrequired :eek: I call these people 'grace-growers' :rotfl: Someone there to give you a challenge in becoming a better person. The question you asked was fully justified and could have been simply answered rather than the "let me take your hand" comment unnecessarily added.

    Good luck with your interview - hope you do really well, you seem to have dealt with this situation very well and in a very nice manner - you deserve this job! :) Fingers crossed for you

    Haha, that's a coincidence. I am meant to be preparing for my interview but instead I am looking at chihuahua puppies to buy online. Much more fun :rotfl:
