I might be completely wrong however I would of thought the location would be where you got the offer e-mail from

e.g. ' East London ' rather then a particular office?

Since I have only applied for E London, I presume it must be the offices within E London like Hackney, Barking, Romford etc and my preference of location. There are other offices in E London which will not be one of my preferred locations to go to.

Reading the email again, I could be wrong.

But it's the same return e-mail address for everybody. So it'd just be East London in the heading and then would be forwarded to the head of recruitment for that area, I presume.

No I don't think so.... Remember how many emails are going to be going to the same inbox, it will be to confirm who has accepted/declined each area, they can sort them by area then.

That makes most sense to me anyway.

I guess because my other half applied for Birmingham and Solihull I've not thought like that, his closest office is Selly Oak but he could get a post in Solihull which is over an hour away.

See your point however, wish they broke up Birmingham like that ..east, west etc

What sort of numbers do we think the Reserve list would be?

50 vacancies so 50 offers and 50 on reserve for example?

That makes sense to me but I haven't got a clue how they are actually working it out.
As I am on the reserve list I am hoping that I've still got a chance.

I wonder if they also take it into account when existing civil servants leave the dept. I know of at least 2 EOs from a B'ham office who are retiring in July so will this free up two posts that reserve list applicants could be offered?

You'll be right at the top though - I got an offer on 35

(And if I get an offer in B&S will be declining it... so you're in )

JessStar: You would certainly get an offer from B&S as I have one with a lower score. All the best.

I am not sure what to do now. I have an offer for B&S but reserve list for BC. The trouble is BC for me is much more convenient distance wise. If I accept B&S for now, they might remove me from their lists alltogether and I may never get to work closer to home. However, if I don't accept my offer for B&S, I may be left without any offer at all as I may never make it to BC. Someone said they are on the reserve list with 34 and I only have 30 so I must be a lot lower down on the list. Don't know what to do, such a dilemma!!!

On a separate note, I believe Wandafish for the fact she had to take an additional exam. I have learnt that never judge people based on your own experiences. I actually pity Mrsmooth for her narrow outlook in life.

Good luck to those still waiting. BC & B&S guys please share ur score and what area you are picking. I am still waiting for Staff result but that was my 3rd preference out of the three so it does not really matter so much now.

As far as I'm aware you can get posted anywhere within the region you applied although they will try and accomadate people with their preferred offices. That why I applied to 2 regions selly oak in B&S is my nearest but I can just as easily get to smethwick which falls under BC.

I think is best to accept multiple offers and then decide once the final decisions are made, that way I'll know exactly which offices I will get to choose from.

Thats confusing. So would I just put Derby or the area within Derby? And what's the reference number? Is it the one on the CS site?

MarkyMark can you confirm that you have been given an offer from Derbyshire with a score of 31.. (which is what one of your earlier posts says)?

I have been put on the reserve list with a score of 38! Seems odd:shocked:
