Hmrc interview

Hi all,

I have recently returned to my hometown and saw that my former position with hmrc was advertising again, I applied and have been told I was successful at interview but was on a waiting list, I found out today that hmrc have sent off my crb this afternoon, is this a sign that their is a position or do they tend to send off for everybody before offering positions regardless of whether their is a role or not.

I know previously only people with positions were checked but not sure if this has changed recently or not

Thanks

Jamie

    How did you find out that they have done this?

    EDIT

    Smart. I will remember that one for future reference

    When I applied for my present post with CS I too was put on the waiting list, went through CRB and then 3 weeks later was offered the post......I would say it is a positive sign your likely to get the post. Good luck!

    Hi wail

    I found out as they misplaced a crb document so asked me to pop down and I was then told it would be sent off and takes 4-6 weeks which sounds right, I am hoping for the positive but going to still look around in case :)
