    I did, but the messing about with the DWP jobs means I am not holding out much hope :(

    Have you heard back from them? I've passed the initial sift and have the assessment next Thurs!

    For the Original EO post in January I had passed the online test for NW Region however as they increased the pass mark I failed the second sift.

    I have tried the practice paper that was sent and was straightforward. I'm worried about the interview though as I haven't had one in a long time.... I really wish they could have had the assessment and interview on the same day as it's difficult enough to get time off.

    Best of luck to you as well!

    Provisional offer on 07/04/2012, accepted on 08/04/2012.

    I have heard NOTHING since. NOTHING! I'm an internal candidate and am outraged at the incompetence of my employers. This is a disgrace.

    I am an external applicant & I had my offer on 7/4/12 and accepted same day. I received my CRB a week ago, sent it off same day and received it back on Wednesday - which was pretty quick considering they wouldn't have received it until the Tuesday (Monday being a BH), so they must have looked at it and sent it right back to me. I was hoping to hear something this week re: Location but haven't heard a peep :(

    Hi Debbie doo, it took over a fortnight to get a reply & they wouldn't tell me how many positions were offered in the end. I had 33 at interview so there must be at least 73 candidates in S E Wales who got between 33 and 36 points. It sounds incredible doesn't it?

    hi bosscat, thanks for the info. I scored 36 and then finding out 37's had offers I thought I maybe near the top lol!!! obviously not!! guess it's time to put this to bed then! oh well... not holding out much hope for a job offer now, guess it just wasn't meant for me this time, will be 3 weeks weds since I sent my initial email and still no response :mad:

    Hi Debbie doo, you may be 1st reserve with 36 for all you know? So I wouldn't count yourself out just yet ;)
