Received the same email yay, some communication at last! It will be 5 weeks tommorow since I was interviewed. I've requested part time hours so I am hoping my preferred location can accommodate this! The waiting continues.... Good luck everyone!

Has anyone else on here applied to the South West/East Wales regions?

Hi, only just found this thread, I scored in the top 10% on the online testing and 43 in the interview, they have since phoned me asking me to get an upto date passport as they cant accept my old one as proof of id and the reading manager was keen for me to get the correct id. I have explained to them that i am on jsa and cant afford 90+ for a passport without a concrete job offer but they are so unhelpful. All she kept saying to me was it will be worth you pursuing this but i still cant magic the money out of thin air. Does anyone know what happens incases like this?? thanks x

Is it just a case of photo ID or residency? Would a driving/provisional licence be sufficient? They're cheaper than passports aren't they? Not sure what to suggest but it does sound promising of a job offer, good luck!

I signed on today and was told by my advisor (Chester office) That all internal candidates where informed yesterday. most had been unsuccessful.

I just received the same email . . Best of luck folks x

When you say internal candidates do you mean people that work for the department already that are applying for promotion or transfer or do you mean internal/surplus staff where the jobs were advertised internally?

Only asking as i already work for department and I have heard nothing only the same email as you guys

Cheers

Did you miss the 'Wales' bit? :cool:

Ha

I have had 3 emails now saying the same thing as already posted. Only applied for one area. I had 2 to my private email and one to the communication bit on cs jobs website.

On about doubling their workload as they were sent from two different email addressess.

OOh looks like we will all know either way soon.

Good luck all

Hi can only repeat what my advisor said.
'All those who applied from that office heard about the jobs yesterday'

Good luck! x

I'm not holding my breath - I think I got 'reserve list' scores My only saving grace may be that I applied for the Welsh speaking posts - I'm hoping the competition wasn't as strong as the English ones.
