Both to be honest.

As I mentioned (I think) before - few years back, by the time I was offered an interview, already had another job so may happen again with that speed...

I once applied for an NHS job in October. Never heard back> got a phone call in March (!!!!!) about an interview. Ermmmm LOL

Lol gosh hope that doesn't happen to me lol!!

I received a letter to sign up to their pensions scheme the other day so that made me happy thinking a call was round the corner but no lol

My status is still the same *strange* but it now says on the feedback that i did pass *really weird* lol

That status is just weirdly set up - mine was showing "on hold" straight after I have done the test and now "being reviewed"

Ah, we will see. But I have a feeling another job will turn up before anything moves on with this application.

I think that might happen to... They give/gave an estimate start date but it never happens!! I hope its not the case though and this process goes extremely fast and sticks to the original dates

What was the interview process involved? Seems to be huge number of vacancies, is this because of high staff turn over?

The only difference between that and the DWP is that you lose the will to live after taking the job at DWP.

I agree 100% with this. I have been there 15 years and the place is terrible now. I am trying very hard to get out.
