Would the responders who have mentioned the organisation please amend their posts (as the OP has done to theirs).

Why? What difference do you think it makes? Why do you think it matters? Its a job interview at GCHQ. They're not employed by them and there won't be anything they'll see that the post man doesn't. They certainly won't see anything that is of any use to anyone and can't be seen on Google Maps.

I half-agree with not having to remove the organistion from the posts - howEVER, mentioning it at all was a bit indiscreet of the OP which is the absolute opposite of what is required for this type of job, surely?

Or maybe I am behind the times and loose lips, terrible spelling and not even knowing what to wear for an interview are prequisites these days.

IT security and they post the name of the organisation on an open forum? Got to be a troll

If this is an assessment centre day then I would dress reasonably smartly, because you are directly competing with the other people being assessed and you need as much on your side as possible (it's a tough day!). However, if it's a testing day then it doesn't matter too much, nobody is really looking at you, the results of the test are all that matters.

Jobs at GCHQ are publicly advertised so are not secret - however, you are not supposed to tell anyone beyond immediately family if you are being considered for a job. Having failed to get an offer (and not likely to apply again) I consider myself free to talk about it now, but didn't before the assessment day.

Huh?

Even locals will use it as a landmark for one of the roundabouts when describing directions. :rotfl:

You're supposed to be secretive about who you even tell you're applying for a position at this organisation (they recommend immediate family only). Anybody who has reached the interview stage would know this, so I suspect a troll.

However, OP, if you're not a troll, you're now unlikely to pass the vetting stage, if you get that far...

I don't think they're a troll - just very naive. They edited the post; no need if you're just a troll!
