Civil service fast stream 2014/2015

Did you receive the offer letter shortly after your initial conversation with the department? Also, how relevant and serious does the experience need to be? For example, I have worked part-time at my University for a year doing data analysis to inform future policy and producing stats reports on staff composition, etc. - should I even bring this up (I am on GSS as well)? Thanks!

Hi All!


I have been successful in my FSAC day for the Generalist Stream and have had all my pre-appointment checks completed on the "Pre-Appointment Checks" status screen (although it still says "In Progress" on the Generalist Scheme progress screen for some reason :s) I am just wondering what happens now?

Apologies, I am sure everyone is asking the same questions lol.

The same happened to me, all the checks done but it still said 'In Progress'. I emailed Parity and asked the reason for this and they said that until your file is passed on from them to the talent management team it will say in 'In Progress'.

Once your file is with the talent management team, they will contact you. The timescale will depend on when you are available to start work. Eventually you will have a phone call to discuss your placement, once you are allocated you will meeting with your new team before starting and you will get lots of HR docs to sign (pension form, contract and any specific to your role). The timescales vary, but if you haven't heard anything for a while it's fine to send a message to Parity to get an update. Congrats on getting through!

Anyone willing to let us know what scores get you through on central departments scheme?

Thanks

Only had my FSAC last Wednesday and already cannot bear this waiting. I did the SDIP last summer and had to wait about two months for my results for that - it was horrific. I am praying that they let me know soon either way. I feel like 80% of my time is taken up by refreshing the page, and it only changed to 'awaiting results' last night!! Congratulations to everyone who's already got through, and to everyone who's in the same horrible boat as me, good luck!!

You're unlikely to hear anything until a week after your FSAC, and if you don't hear at that point it'll be a little longer to wait. But at this stage there isn't very much more time until the process finishes - everyone should know by mid-April I believe. How did your FSAC go? And which stream(s) have you applied for?

I had mine on Wednesday 18/03/2015. My scheme progress for the FSAC is changed to "Awaiting Results". We should hear in the next week.

Good luck. I hope we will hear in the next week, but we might get amber banded and have to wait until mid April Let me know if you hear anything! How did the day go for you?

Heya everyone, I feel like I'm one of the only people still waiting for my FSAC!! (monday 30th) I jusy wanted to clarify a few things about the day....
- in between activities are we allowed to access any notes we may bring with us in our bags?
- are we allowed to bring any notes into the interview with us?
- other than prepare answers for the competency interview, thoroughly read the guide and practice speed reading, is there anything else anyone would recommend me doing as preparations?

Thank you! I appreciate any answers :-)

Interview was best of all exercises, policy recommendation exercise was excellent, leadership brief was good and group exercise was quite okay...
