This is exactly the same for my partner with a score of 25.

Wonder if this is a reserve list place???

Matt

Hi all, first time post but been following the forum for months.
I'm pretty sure the above posts mean reserve list, my partner has the exact same message from another CS job he applied for and he is on a reserve list there.

Has anyone heard anything from NORTHUMBERLAND / TYNE AND WEAR area? The wait is killing me! Scored 8, 6, 7, 6, 7 at interview so am thinking I'll end up on the reserve list too.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this is exciting.....

Obviously have heard nothing myself, but tat least things are moving now.

They may just be reserve listing everyone before they send out offers? This tends to happen quite a lot, I believe.

In my experience some people (really high scorers) will get a job offer straight away, others will be placed on the reserve list but depending on your scored still stand a fairly reasonable chance, particularly given how long this who process has taken (hopefully some applicants will have found new jobs by now!!).

I'm not getting my hopes up, but that thought did cross my mind. I remember that my status went to 'application on hold' just before interview invites were sent out.
I would hope to receive something a bit more formal [like an email] if I am on the waiting list - been waiting for such a long time I'm sure they could manage that?

Hi everyone first time posting here but have been watching this forum for a while now. Unimaginative I also applied for Glasgow and west scotland districts but unfortunately I've been wait listed as my interview score is 28. At present I am working but in a menial job with min wage and desparately want this job. I also was a FTA AO till last year and I enjoyed it immensely. Is it possible for you to tell me your scores? I just want to know is there any chance for me to get back in again within 6 months or sooner.

Yes, no probs. I got 7, 6, 6, 6, 6 so was expecting reserve list at best going by what I read on here. I'm probably way down the merit list but frankly I couldn't care less. I got an offer which is what I wanted. I've been working at eo grade for 3 years so merit positions dont bother me. Is it gled you applied to?

Also' mcmug, it's worth mentioning, if you think about it like this, I've rejected two other offers which means two reserve list people could have been offered posts. As there's only five days to accept the offer I'm sure it won't be long til a score of 28 gets an offer. Fingers crossed for you pal x
