I applied for the Tyne and Wear area. Feedback received. My scores are very disappointing. Looks like that's me out!

Can I ask, if you don't mind what were your feedback scores? Thanks

I'm sorry - Just goes to show how tough this process is I applied in 2009 and didn't get through so I know how you feel.

I was an FTA and loved it. I got 2 x 4, 2 x 3, 1 x 2 and a "not a specific example" or words to the effect. My own fault, to be fair. I didn't do the competencies until the night of the deadline. And I shouldn't complain because after just going through a redundancy situation with my current employer, I've secured another role. So I shall concentrate on that and think myself lucky. Good luck to everyone else.

have you been invited for interview for west yorkshire or had any feedback from sift, I understand sift finished last thursday, not heard anything so far I scored 86 percentile still showing as selection test completed awaiting review.

Nope not had notification.
i know someone who spoke to one of the HR managers and they informed them they are sorting it over the weekend.
This happened last week for the internal Lancashire Sift and people got their sift scores on Monday and Tuesday. Still awaiting for interview dates though.

Has anyone got their sift feedback scores? My scores were mostly 4's and a 3. Assume this is out of 10, so not looking too good! Although in all sections they did mention positive behaviours shown.

Scores are out of 9

I had feedback for one of the areas i applied for last week and was a little gutted with the scores.
Overall it was okay! i got 4 x 7's but then i got a 3
according to everyone you get a 3 and it's a fail for all of them.
I felt the feedback did not reflect the answer i put for the competency that got a 3 so i've requested they relook at it.

Hopefully i'll do better for the other areas

Sounds like you did really well I'd be surprised if you didn't get an interview. I also doubt that if you get 1x3 you fail the whole competency excersise especially given the 4x7's you got. if that is the case they will struggle with having anyone to interview!

Well done to those of you who have got through to interview :T

Just got my competencies a disappointing total of 7/54
Who dreamed up these stupid things !! What do they want to get full marks ?
Perhaps should have written a few simple made-up jackanory stories instead to get full marks.

I agree with you requesting a relook as it's obvious you understand what a competency is from your 4 7's. I can only guess that whoever marked the one that scored 3 must have thought you didn't give a correct example for the competency. Still your overall score is 31 out of 45 so you really should get an interview for that.
