Civil service jobs

Hi all

I applied for I think an EO role in civil service. I just had a look at my feedback for the online tests as I was able to go through the full application. 

It states I scored better than 79‰ of the representative group in the judgement test and 78‰ in the verbal test.

Would you say that's a good standing for it?

Starting balance £66,565.45

Current balance £55,819

Cc debt free.

    Who knows?  You are in the top 20% of those who applied, thats great if 100 applied and there are 15 jobs, you have a great chance but if there were 2000 applicants for 15 jobs not so great!  You'll just have to wait and see if you get invited to interview.  Civil service usually interviews on a basis of three interview candidates for 1 job.

    You just need to make sure the written application backs up the scores - as it is that that will be sifted for interview.
