Has anyone at all had an interview in Leicester or Northants? How did it go? Any news on when appointment letters will be issued? Waiting is killing me...!! I scored ok, mainly 6's & 7's, hope it will be good enough! I saw a post earlier when someone mentioned something about being offered a job in Leicester?

Anyone had an interview for North West? Got mine on tues 27th and just wondering how everyone was getting on in Manchester - any nasty questions? Also anyone used same competencies as application and was this ok to do? Good luck to everyone still due to be interviewed.

Do they do a CRB check on all applicants? Or just those who are successful? I was thinking of calling disclosure scotland and seeing if my disclosure has been processed. If it's the case that only successful applicants have their disclosure processed, then I'll be able to tell the outcome from what they tell me...

Don't know for definate (someone on here prob would) but would make sense as they have to pay for it each time.

Just having a little trouble restoring her esteem, the scores totally shattered her confidence - so we have a bit of time - thank you.

I'll try calling them on Monday then, and will post the outcome on here. You never know...

My friend got a phone call from Leics/Northants today. She has been offered a position in the Leicester or Loughborough office.

She scored 37/45

:T That's Fantastic! I got an interview in Leicester and scored 34 overall and have not heard anything! I'm waiting in great anticipation, but it's not looking good!

No nasty questions at all, the interviewers were very friendly. They explained which competency they were asking you about before asking the actual question. I used the same examples that I used for my written competencies as they specifically told me they hadn't seen my written competencies or any part of my application.

Best of luck.

Savethebadger has been putting some very strange posts on here... A few of us came to the conclusion he was a troll.
So don't worry yet, it seems nobody has been made an offer so far.

Thanks for that - one more question as I seem to be tearing myself in pieces getting prepared. I don't expect you to tell me the questions obviously but were the questions quite broad would you say (in that they were based on the main sections of each competency) or should I be stressing I am going to get a question specific to a mini bullet point - some people on here have got me panicking!
