I know, I'd say they're all on the wind down for Christmas so prob why we won't be hearing! I only did my interview on 3rd Dec so wasn't really expecting to hear before Christmas

Yes and I’m sure there are a lot of applications to go through. It’s just so painful waiting, as from previous experience waiting months then getting a no. I did my interview on the 1st December. Good luck to you.

I did my interview on 10.11.23 and received the ‘We received a high volume of applications’ email on 20.12.23. The portal has stated ‘awaiting interview results’ since 13.12.2023.

I really hope they get back to us all soon since it’s already been 2 months of waiting. I thought it would take around 4–6 weeks max.

Anyone else planning on requesting a part time role instead of full time?

Unfortunately they do have a habit of not sticking to dates. No I am trying for full time preferably but am hoping that it maybe hybrid working.
Good luck to you
