    It's really odd that you've not heard - are they likely to email, in which case could it have gone into spam? Otherwise I would be tempted to ring and check they've got your contact details right.

    They will have to load the scores onto Civil Service jobs who will then send an automated email with the results. The email goes straight to my work email address which is definitely correct on their details. I’ve loaded results of interviews onto this site myself so know how it works. We are very different to the outside world I’m afraid. They did say they potentially had another person to interview who had been off sick with Covid and advised there could be a delay. I didn’t realise it would be this much of a delay though. What you have to watch sometimes is that someone has been doing the job on temporary promotion and when this comes to an end the role has to be advertised as fair and open competition. The incumbent usually gets the job although I’ve known of rare occasions where they haven’t. This could be what’s happened in this instance.

    Ah, that makes sense! It would still be good for them to let you know either way, hopefully they will soon.

  • My daughter works in the Civil Service too and had an interview for a new job Wednesday like SA and still has not received news of whether or not she has had the job so maybe there are just processes to go through or maybe other interviewees who have not yet been interviewed.  Hopefully you will hear soon but at least you have another interview to do as well.
