just at AO level- start on Monday. Got a degree in maths so really want to be at grade O by the end of next year. Although coming from retail I'm just grateful for any job in the civil service :smile: how's your situation? Boy it's a long process!

Good man! :-) Things couldn't really be better for you then? :-) Congratulations! That's a little reassuring...there's perhaps a little hope for me yet then with my 555 also. Hahaha! Fingers crossed! :-)


I scored 544 and was offered Leeds so that's at least one location you could expect an offer from at some point if you scored higher than me.

That's one of the places they did ask me about funnily enough. Maybe the old criminal record has snookered me with it all. Lol. But congratulatioms to you on getting Leeds, well done! :-) When do you start?

I've had a provisional offer for O and awaiting to hear back regarding the HO campaign. Agreed! I started the application back in November I think, just got to keep the faith as it really tests one's patience!

No idea, the provisional offer stated that they're unable to offer start dates until towards the end of the year due to their Shipley office being flooded and the staff there working in Leeds so they've no room for new starters. But then someone else on here was offered an August start date but at a different office in Leeds to that which I'm expecting to work in.

It's been some experience, the lot of it! Lol.

Are the two of them not the same campaign if you know what I mean? Lol. I would have thought that the HO posts would have been finalised before the O posts? Although nothing I've encountered with this process seems to be logical or simple at all to be honest! Lol.

Things can change quickly. I received a provisional offer email on Sunday subject to pre-employment checks( email said could take four weeks to complete) and I received an email today saying that my pre-employment checks have been completed so now just waiting to be given a start date. So do not lose hope.
