    I got the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I'm too excited to be at work, all I can think is that I can finally leave this place. I want to hand in my notice but I know that's not a good idea and I just need to stay calm and patient.

    Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed that I get placed in one of the Cardiff offices.

    Good luck to everyone still waiting, hopefully you'll all get good news today.x.x.

    I received my email from West Yorks at 3:15pm yesterday, provisional offer with score of 45.
    I know Panno has received a provisional offer too but not sure what time her email came through, If I remember correctly her score was 41.
    Emails could still be going out, so I wouldn't assume you have been unsuccessful until you receive an email.
    When do you start the other job?

    Bill,

    The bottom line is I got the job and you didn't.

    Profit and bonuses are important as it motivates the staff. Recrutiment companies get a bad reputation but its your own fault you got 40/45 as it wasn't good enough. I tell my clients the honest truth but I make it constructive and give them a purpose. Respect is earned through performance not given because of position. I respect people who work hard, graft and take pride in their work. I don't respect lazy chatterboxes who are great to have a drink with on a friday night but unreliable in the office. I used this for one of my competencies as lazy unresponsive people damage morale, productivity and responsibility.

    I've had enough of the private sector long hours. So I'm going to take it easy and relax in this job. Go to work do plenty of PR be nice to everyone smile regularly never criticize. Just be grade A in !!!! licking and accomodating everyone. Take the salary easy money and keep my head down.

    I got what I wanted I ticked all the boxes. Now its times to relax and chill and make easy money. The most stressful thing you're going to find is one angry customer. Water of a ducks back.

    To all that got an offer congratulations :) easy money easy street here we go.

    To Bill. thanks for the lectures and telling people how wonderful you are. Sorry you weren't good enough for the job because I was better than you. Just think all the people you advised on how to write competencies failed in the interview stage. :) Competition was fierce but your not wanted or needed and your contribution damaged others.

    Its quite funny though isn't it Bill that you didn't get the job since you acted like you were the expert. You did this wonderful interview telling everyone how wonderful you were and how well prepared you were. Yet it wasn't good enough!!!

    I beat you. I got the job you didn't. I deserve this job You don't. HAHA

    Well, Sam, it seems like you've shown your true colours.

    I PM'd you asking for advice when you'd posted that you'd PMd bottletop with ideas of how to get back into employment. Have you replied? Even an acknowledgement? No - you've been too busy insulting posters, such as MackemBill, who have been genuinely helpful and supportive through the whole of this thread.

    Don't bother PMing me now. You sound like a real pompous, big-headed ****. I can't see anyone who's so smug about having a job earning 'easy money' being the slightest bit of help to anyone who's struggling to find a job, for whatever reason.

    I really hope I don't come up against you when I go to the jobcentre to sign on.

    Pluto - I understand where you're coming from but try not to be bitter. My advisor thought that I'd be perfect for the job but I guess I just don't have whatever it takes to get through a competency interview.
