Same here. No email and no new nessages yet.

If I hear nothing by tonight I'll presume that my result was so bad that they they didn't think it justified letting me know.

Well done to all who qualified from round 1 so far.

Nice one, Congrats. I'm not so optimistic about mine.

BTW. The moderators have created a separate blog for posting results so that this one is kept for people to look up info on the recruitment process.

Got in band 1. Delighted. Best of luck to anyone who got through, and hard luck to anyone who didn't get it.

Have many people used the <mod snip> study material? I didn't use it for stage 1 hoping that it can bump me up some places for stage 2

From wat I've seen of the quick glance at the familiarisation stuff it looks quite similar to the last

Thanks for replying! I didn't get a chance to do a course for the first stage so I don't have any notes and was wondering did anyone hear of more courses taking place?

Hiya lads place like 5108 in band 2 what is the chances of getting called or what is the next step for those of us in band 2 ?

I'm band 2 also. 5372. I highly doubt they will call any of us from band 2, from all I've been reading here they should have more than enough choice from the 5000 once whittled down.

I doubt they'll even use the 5,000? they only want 300 a year, if that.. 900 for the next 3 years really.

Applicants won't progress any further, applicants will fail etc etc etc

Lads it was bad enough with the reserves vs civilians before lets not get into a band 1 vs band 2/3 mind frame now. No one knows what way it will pan out we will just have to let time tells us that but were all going the same direction so let's try and get on and help as best we can.

I don't think they ever said how many they would recruit in the next 3 years only that this campaign might be used for next 3 years.

I wouldn't go that far now. I'd say they'll have much bigger recruitments after the 3 years.

Put it this way, if they only take the 1000 that's 4000 people who worked hard to pass for nothing and there not gonna leave people on a panel for years and years. They must have some type of plan..

12,000 you mean, 12,000 passed ....

well only stage 1 has taken place so that number will be reduced hugely I'd say.

mycro89 wrote: »

What do ye think the pass rate will be for stage 2?

pass rate is dictated by the scores of all those tested

for the 1millionth time

Can I ask what you mean by ' the 1000 '

numorouno

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there another aptitude plus interviews plus physicals plus medicals. All those could seriously eat into the 5000 or the second and third 5000. If your not in you can't "win" as they say so no one should lose hope just yet

Not to mention background check's, that can knock a few out also

what exactly is involved in the background checks? just family mostly? I have been told several times that aunts and uncles who have convictions wouldnt affect you atall.. maybe if your father or mother have then that could affect you?

Heard of a guy who's cousin was criminally involved and he got rejected because of it

I wonder was he open about it though. I think that is incredibly unfair. You spend most of your life aiming for something, doing the best you can and you are of good character and it is someone else's actions that stop you from doing the job you have worked towards. It's a big kick in the teeth. You can only control your own life and actions, you can't control your relatives.

I think it is complete nonsense if the likes of an aunt or uncle has a criminal history and it were to go against you. Parents, brothers, sisters, spouse etc. I could understand to an extent as you would be considered far closer to them. How many people would have frequent contact with an uncle or aunt as opposed to the above? Most families have a black sheep or two I would imagine. Those with large families will find the checks a pain as it involves getting addresses and PPS numbers for everyone afaik.

There can be a black sheep in your immediate family too but that still shouldn't affect you if you have lived your life sneaky clean. I would look down on all criminal activity whether it was a family member or not, right is right, wrong is wrong.

So we defo won't get our results until the Irish requested candidates are finished their tests

I wouldn't say that for definite as they seem to be getting treated separately to others i.e. persons from all 3 bands are being put through to stage 2. As I mentioned on the Irish thread there is probably a set number of places reserved for native speakers which need to be filled.

Does this include your aunts and uncles through marriage. I think I read on another thread that you give details of aunts and uncles through marriage at one stage then you just include your direct relatives...first cousins etc in another stage? I can't remember though.
