CSR/1320/16 - Higher Officer Caseworkers (Tax Professional and Operational Delivery)

Deluded 🙄

Hey! Just wondering is anybody starting in Belfast on the 27th March? Feeling a little nervous!

Omg ... nervous ... I've heard it all now. Just be thankful you have a Formal Offer. Many are still waiting and probably won't get one!

Sounds like you're abit sour. I understand a lot of people are waiting to hear back with a formal offer (me included) but seriously give it a rest. This forum doesn't need negativity and really doesn't need conspiracy theories either. Just be happy and maybe with abit of patience you'll get yours too. I can't imagine you having a go if you get a formal offer!!

You are very bitter. You could have held this thought to yourself but no its all about you & how you've not got an offer. You're taking the shine off the fact that this person has got an offer and has every right to be nervous starting his first day in a new job.

Well it's not up to you to pass judgement or remarks about what I choose to do or don't do I'm simply making a point that people who have their situation result should celebrate that fact and not cause people here further distress who are still waiting



Out of interest, when (when not if) as everyone whose passed checks will be getting an offer; are you even going to accept it?

Why not look for a different career?

There's a few on here starting then from what I gather.

I wouldn't be nervous - just go in and take it as it comes. Everyone there will have had a first day and will know what it's like so I don't think anyone will be going hard on you

I'm not too far behind you on interview scores Jamz but you have every right to be nervous considering you got 444 in your interview. Borderline case for definite.

That wasn't my scores. Scores are irrelevant from what we can gather in a number of cases where " batches are plucked at random" This is where I want to know what goes on. That was what was communicated to me. The merit list goes out the window after Provisional Offer stage and batches are " allocated randomly " So how does this random allocation come about? Word of mouth? You scratch my back I'll scratch your back ? ... we don't know because they won't elaborate but the fact is they are using different barometers than what they were originally.

Everyone who was on the reserve list for the 2066/15 campaign got offered the job in August 2016 as they have enough jobs for everyone. If they hadn't of had enough jobs; then it would have went in merit order. And people with the lower scores remaining on the reserve list. But they've got enough money to hire everyone on the reserve list so the have offered it to everyone.

When it comes to making a formal offer, the people who have passed their checks will get the offer first, in merit order of whose passed their checks. So in October 16 when the first batch of formal offers went out, even though I had higher scores. My checks weren't passed. So I missed the start date for Nov/Dec

Why are any of you even engaging with Jamz.......you can see he is thriving on the arguments & replies......just completely ignore him - that's the best response you could give a troll which he undoubtedly is, lol!!!!

I rang for an update this morning (as they'd not replied to my email last week). I basically cross-examined the guy lol who couldn't really tell me anything only what's been said on another thread: "No roles available at the moment until further notice". They received this information a couple of days ago and the five locations affected are Belfast, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool and Stratford.

He couldn't say: why there are no roles, when there'd be roles available, why provisional offers were made with insufficient roles, why there are numerous concurrent campaigns, when there'd be further information available, why others with lower scores appear to have received formal offers first when they've "been told it's definitely done on merit order" (if this is the case you should email in and ask the question), whether the provisional offers could be rescinded, how many people with provisional offers are affected.

Really disappointing but not giving up hope!
