If it weren't for this forum, I'd be assuming by now that they'd binned my application without telling me I'd got nowhere. Perhaps patience isn't one of my finer qualities: I'd feel better if anyone external in the Birmingham & Solihull areas had started to hear a whiff of much at all.

I guess I should reasonably expect to hear either next week, or the week after. Crumbs!

Birmingham took the longest over the last recruitment! My new claims adviser this time round started as a permanent employee, the same date I started in Cov as FTA, and had made her initial application 6 weeks before I did. If they do the same this time expect to hear everyone else is in place before Bham!

Patience is definitely a virtue when waiting for DWP, but they expect you to act as soon as they ask!

Still nothing re the competencies for the 3 areas I have applied to - Staffs and Shrops, Black Country and Birmingham and Solihull. Very frustrating to say the least. Hopefully will hear something early next week but not holding my breath.

I also applied for Tyne and Wear but there is no evidence in my feedback section that my competencies have been marked.

No I think I will just wait and see if it changes soon.

Just don't know why it's "on hold"!
