    This is driving me crazy ! I have another interview for a crap job next week and I was hoping to hear something definitive by then. I hope we both hear back soon with good news.

    Fingers crossed for the both of us! Apparently the last interview was on the 14th so it's been two weeks since then.

    This area is interviewing till the start of next week I think? I'm not sure what happens if for example someone has their interview in this area late, but also applies to another area where interviews are finished?

    Any news for anyone else? Has anyone had the same request for ID etc post-interview?
    I sent all of it back and was told I'd hear by the end of April, it's now changed to mid-May. I'd hate to be applying for this if I was out of work!

    No, I still haven't heard anything yet. I sent an email to the address provided on the job advert on Monday, but it bounced back as undeliverable!

    I got an email from them 3 days after my interview, but it was just a reminder of what to take to my interview, so not sure if it's the same one you received?

    I was offered a job this week with another place, so I'm not so desperate to hear from them now, but I think that their recruitment process is really shoddy, not impressed by them at all! Will still take the job if offered it though! :rotfl:

    Hard to say, from what I can gather some people do get offers when on reserve and some don't. I'm going to treat this as a rejection and not waste any more mental energy on it. If something comes up it'll be a nice surprise, but I'm going to do my best to forget about this horrible, drawn out process.

    its been a bad experience for me also wondering whether just passing with 5 and 6 scores was the reason for being put on the reserve list.

    They currently have jobs going for National Insurance Number Interviewing Officer wondering whether to apply cant take the long wait again!!

    The fact that candidates who are good enough to pass the screening and the interview are put off applying now due to this process has to be a problem that needs addressing? Is there a procedure for passing this sort of complaint in?

    Sorry that you didn't get an offer through.
