According to staff at JCP this morning, they want a quick start, April. I asked if that was for internals, but she said, "everyone"?

Hhhmm - not sure how that is going to work as we are already half way through March and not all interviews have finished yet. Then once they have offered jobs they need to do all the checking - CRB etc - which is going to take at the very least 2 weeks probably more. Then if you have a job you need to hand in your notice - which can range from 1 week-1 month (in same cases more).

They will therefore be very lucky to start anyone before the middle April at the very earliest! I understand why some are saying beginning of May - that makes more sense.

Is it me or is it impossible to have an all encompassing example to satisfy all aspects of the delivering professional service competency?

Its very detailed, I was wondering whether anybody who has done their interviews and received their scores can shed any light on the detail needed.

Thanks

Yes, my interview not til Saturday, that's why I asked if the April target was for internals, I wasn't convinced that it was do-able otherwise!

I thought the same, but I was told the exact same thing in my interview. Jobs were to start in April. Unless thats just internal staff that would be starting then. Who knows, everythings a guessing game for me :think:! haha

still waiting for feedback :wall: :whistle:

I think starting in mid April is just impossible! Crb checks can take anything from 4 to 6 weeks. I remember in 2009 my crb check took exactly 6 weeks then!

I totally agree - I was working of the best case scenerio but I am aware CRB's take approx 4 weeks even though they say for a basic one it is suppose to be approx 2. But hey maybe the DWP knows something we don't

Good luck to anyone who's interviews are to come.
