Hi, it was Kevin!

Stratford was listed as one of the options one of the various online forms I've had to fill out, along with everywhere else in the country. London wasn't listed itself but Croydon and Stratford were listed independently. I chose Croydon first and Stratford second but you're right, I probably would prefer to work in central too.

Stratford wasn't dismissed but I said out of the 3 London locations it'd certainly be last.

I already have a DBS check from a previous job and I feel like I've given my life story so far to them so hopefully it shouldn't take much longer. Fingers crossed.*

Hey did you have another form where you got to choose the location? Id love to have either Euston or Stratford but was told that they will decide the location themselves. This was for the O grad role btw.

I'm 99% sure one of the online forms asked you to list locations in order of preference but I can't remember which I'm afraid. Mention it when you go in to verify your ID.*

So are we all going to contact manpower when the 20 working days are up? Lol!
Unless of course we're contacted prior to that.

Well unfortunately the guy dealing with me today (he was called Gary or Gareth - can't remember!) didn't seem to know an awful lot! Gave him all my paperwork, he said he didn't know where I'd be based (I REALLY don't want to be based in Croydon - Euston / Stratford would be my choices), couldn't tell me what sort of start date we'd be looking at, although he said he'd been told end of October / early November. As I need to give minimum 1 month's notice, I wouldn't be able to make it this quickly, and I imagine many people are also in this position of needing to give a month's notice; I can't believe HMRC isn't aware of this. Also I find it hard to believe the background checks will be done that quickly; he couldn't give me a timescale for when the formal offer and a health questionnaire would come through. Thinking about it, I personally think November is going to be way too soon, given how slow HMRC has been with everything else. I am hoping that the start dates will be very early 2017, but logistically I think they could be December onwards. This is all conjecture on my part though.

(O grade role, provisional offer came on the back of an unsuccessful graduate TSP application).

Good luck trying to contact Manpower ... there's no contact email or number for Manpower directly, & HMRC have no dealings with them so can't help. They're pretty much uncontactable!

Yep exactly the same, no contact since then

Did anyone else have their references being contacted? I was told by my references that HMRC contacted them yesterday. Seems to be finally progressing.

Quick question, a friend of mine who has received an offer for the O grad role has accepted it but they had been sacked from their part time job about a year or two ago. Would this affect their application/show up during DBS since it was part time job?
