Smart/casual really. I work in a Jobs and Benefits Office and jeans and tshirt/shirt/blouse is normal. Are you starting there as an AO?

Most of the offices I have worked in have been casual. Most people tend to make more of an effort the first few days then see what everyone else is wearing and follow suit

Thanks everyone. i was asking for my brother as he is starting there as an ao in a few weeks. woodsey, have you worked there? was it that bad? my brother hasnt worked in a few years so i wont be telling him anything to put him off lol

I worked there before leaving on promotion - not too bad, but you can get some people on the phones giving you verbal abuse etc.

i thought that sort of thing would happen considering the nature of the work

Hi Guys, I passed a SO interview and am 3rd on a 6 month waiting list, realistically is there any hope as an external from your experiences? Also on a 12 month list for a band 7 in HSC, again anyone any experience and ideas as to how realistic a letter coming to invite for a role may be? Many thanks as usual...

I've just received my Access Ni Forms in the post and handed them in yesterday! So hopefully won't be long until I hear back with an offer!

That's good, hope I get mine soon, started a new job recently and not really enjoying it so it would be a godsend to be offered a position!!! Hope you hear back soon! ps what was your first choice of area to work in?
