    OH MY GOD!!!! Just had my interview marks back, I was convinced I did really badly as not only did the interviewers keep asking me questions but at times they'd repeat the questions 'yeah but can you tell us HOW' even after I thought I'd answered it. Anyway, my scores are 3*8 and 2*7!!!!!! So chuffed, I love my interviewers now, wish I could give them a big hug and kiss!!

    Good luck everyone, and remember, even if you think you b*ggered it up, as with me, you might have done a lot better than you thought!

    Congrats ...and thanks for the encouragement , I felt the same they asked a lots of questions and am still waiting for scores since last thursday. Fingers crossed.

    Lorac, Im in exactly the same situation, and to me, the two categories do seem quite siilar. Im just going to wait to see what questions they ask on the day, and just which example fits - In my preparation, Ive made them as interchanagable as possible

    I personally think thats the best thing to do, wait until on the day. Just make sure you know both examples inside out. Really prepare yourself so your not caught like a rabbit in the headlights :)

    You are supposed to get feedback within 10 working days, so you should hear back by next Monday.... 'SHOULD' being the opperative word! hahaha :D

    Which area was that in? Most areas seem to have 2 weeks of interviews - sometimes 1 week. I would guess the interviews for your area finish this weekend and then they will be uploading results all at the same time.

    Hi MakemBill
    Yes I got through with 51percentile but have no feedback or competencies scores as of yet. Not really hoping to get them before Wednesday now either which is a bit of a disapointment. Thank you for your help on guidance with the interview, do you have an interview yourself ?

    I am leaving for my interview in about 20 minutes.

    Sorry I never got back to you, but I had to travel to Cornwall Monday and just got back this morning. Knackered, but ready to stand my corner.

    I'll post this evening and let you know how it went.

    Good luck one an all...:)

    Just got back from my interview, E.London. The questions were pretty tough (can't even remember them now) and I didn't expect them to be so specific but apparently I managed to answer them (I took the risk of asking that at the end) but I don't know if it was to an acceptable standard. I'm not holding out much hope tbh and I'll just continue on with other applications, just glad the interview is out of the way.

    Few things I found out at the end (nothing new I suppose), these roles are all customer-facing (Personal Jobseeker Adviser) and the successful candidates will be working on the Youth Contract scheme.
