So based on others I think it is a minimum 4/5 weeks wait to hear back from the interview. It’s Exactly 4 weeks for me today & my status has only changed slightly today. I know people have said ‘application being reviewed’ means you’ve got the job but I don’t know when this message shows.

So apparently the next message is “you will hear from us soon with the outcome”
Then you normally hear within a week from that Iv read

Someone on the other thread said the same I think they may be abit behind with things but looks like your close to hearing back
I got my unsuccessful email yesterday after 6 and a half weeks of waiting. I applied for south east wales if any one else is waiting for that area. I pretty much knew I didn’t pass the interview so I’m ok with it. Hope everyone hears something soon, good luck

Has anyone heard back from North East Yorkshire and Humber interviews?( 594) I did my interview on the 3rd Oct and it’s been 5 weeks today. I’ve noticed EO roles for this area was advertised again recently.

Not response, I applied too. I have also reapplied for the recent advert

Sorry to hear that. I’ve also applied for a job with DVSA and I have to say their application/interview process is much more professional than DWP. Making anyone wait 6.5weeks after interview for a £29k job suggests it might be best to steer clear anyway. I’m not holding out much hope even if I pass the interview…
Good luck

Not yet today is the 5th week I’m waiting 😭 I’ve read some on here have said that their wording of the application status has changed but mine still says it’s being reviewed by our team and I’ll be contacted soon with an outcome.

The wording only changes very slightly is it possible yours has changed?
What does it currently say word for word?

It’s my 7th week of waiting this week.
The status in the application portal has now changed today to “thank you very much for completing the interview. Your application is being reviewed

It had changed twice from “….your application will be reviewed by our team” to ..we will contact you soon with the outcome” and now this.

Wow 7 weeks waiting time is ridiculous especially if someone has failed and had their hopes up waiting for a response. Guess I might have another month ahead of me yet

It absolutely is! Sadly, there isn’t really nothing else to do but wait
