To be fair just because someone said they had been given the answer in work it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right one - you don't know who within the CS gave them the answer to begin with.

Thats true! What's done is done all we can do is keep the fingers and toes crossed

I doubt every1 got all the questions 100% right. It's a pain waiting as I feel like I have been waiting ages already. They prob haven't even looked at our test results yet so will be a while still. I just hate this waiting game.

Wonder roughly how many people applied

If you read back over . First you hear whether your questionnaire was successful or not. Then you may get called for interview anytime over the next 12 months.

I filled out the questions in answers 1-4. Not realising i could answer 1, for 2 questions if i wanted.My fault completely. Good luck to all, coz i certainly wont get it.

I nearly did that until I realised I could pick whatever I wanted. Makes it really tough to decide on answers though when you think 3 responses are adequate, or no response is good!

There saying that results will be at the end of the week

bulmersgal

Hopefully that is true, be nice this week

Last year the results were out 15 days after the closing date for the questionnaire. We are still within that time frame.

bulmersgal

I presume 15 days is not working days, we only at 8 days since it closed so it prob will be next week.

I'm dying to hear but even if they say yes, we could be ages waiting on interview

No it was 11 working days. The first year I applied I got in the top band but i didnt get called for interview until December and I got a 6 month contract. Last year I was called straight away to interview and only got a 10 week contract which started straight after my 6 month one ended.

Even if you hear yes and in the top group, you're really still not much further forward, until you get called for an interview, then it's really ' as you were'....

I have just rang the Public Job's office and the lady said results will be made available between 4-6 weeks!! How does that work when Jobs are becoming available in June and they still have to go through the interview process!!

davydoc

I'd say she's talking through her hat - but everything is a lot later this year

4-6 weeks :-O she has to be wrong, sure last year it took took 11 working days see post above.

Maybe she just saying that so that you wouldn't ring her again, like if they knew results will be out Friday and they got delayed till Tuesday they'd have us all ringing asking where are our results are on Friday and Monday

Donegal2012

last year I had my interview May 8th and got a 10 week position in June. I was hoping for this again this year but if what she's saying is true all early positions will be gone before we even hear from them never mind have interviews done, that is if lucky enough to get an interview!!

I'd almost call again in the hope of talking to someone else to see what they'd say!! Getting very impatient about it now!!

Be interesting to see what they say if you got through to different person. It does seem very long, I say we'll get word end of this week or start of next. My exams are in May so I hope to go they don't bring call me for interview when one of them is on. Somebody said if you try change day they just take you off list :-(

How will they be gone, sure there'll be no-one to take them if the test results aren't known ???

Not true my brother had it changed a few years ago and he got offered a position. Also a person i worked with last year cancelled his interview because he wasn't in the country that day and yet he got a 13 week contract without and interview.

bulmersgal

Ah brill I only have 3 exams so not a lot of days I won't be available, was a bit worried that after all this, they'd call me on exam day.
