  • I have just found this thread after googling results. Puts me in a good mood, was starting to feel like it was taking too long for me to have been successful.
    Going by the above post, does this mean the interview we had was it? I assumed there was going to be a second selection interview, but if not im happy!

    My interview was on the 8th march and I got 8,8,8,8,8

    I wasent sure if that was good or what it was even out of, but going by this thread I seem to have done ok!

    It was in the north east I went for it, hopefully others from my area are on here and will post when they get results.

    I assumed it would be emailed to us as well as posted/phonecall? Ive been checking my email daily expecting that to be how it would be done!

    Those are good scores well done, it seems that B&S scores seem to be a lot harsher though then everywhere else to be fair.

    I was told that my scores would be on the same day, I got 6.7.8.6.8 and that we would hear by the end of this week. I think thats a little too soon though. I've spoken to a few of my ex collegues who still work at JCP and they said we should hear by the 1st week in April.

    Fingers crossed :)

    Thanks!!! I feel a lot more positive after encouragement from you and a couple of others. Let's hope this is enough to get something not too far from home. Your scores are so much better than mine, BRAVO!!! Hopefully you'll be within the top 5% of the merit list as marking does seem to have been tougher. Did you apply only for B&S or any other areas as well?

    Why does it still say 'Scheduled for 1st interview' when I've had my interview.
    I want my results!

    Thanks, I hope I've done enough this recruitment has been so much harder than the last one.

    I've also applied to the black country but only want to work in the ones closest to brum.
  • If the start date is April 10th then that's only 3 weeks away... A lot of places need 4 weeks notice. It's also a Tuesday. A lot of places would probably start people on a Monday...
