Border Force 2019

Ah that sucks. I got number 3 so I believe that was my personal letter or whatever wasnt up to scratch.
I really had my Hope's up, are you planning on applying again in the future?

I wonder why I haven't been given my score on the sift feedback. Very strange.

I have received mine either, don’t worry!

Hi there. Did you receive the "Your application has met the required standard ..." e-mail too?

I did indeed!

So, received my sift feedback and scored a 5 (Good demonstration), but application status still showing as "being reviewed" and no hint of an interview. I wonder whether they're prioritising the 6s and 7s for interview.

Where have you applied for ?

I'm not sure I think they working way from south to north it seems and if score high within that area for eg sift is high for Edinburgh just speculating I'm not sure but it seems like that hope and wish you all the best tho hope get an interview soon

Be a while before they work their way up to Scotland then! Thanks... I'll post updates if I hear anything further

I received an email stating that i had met the required standard as well.

I just checked my sift feedback and it says 4 Moderate Demonstration.

I was of the understanding a score of 4 referred to Acceptable Demonstration.

Can anyone clarify this please?

Info available online does classify a sift score of 3 as Moderate demonstration and 4 as Acceptable demonstration, but this info is seemingly from 2015.

Perhaps they've made amendments to the scoring and haven't yet updated their online information to reflect this.

In any case, you've made it to the next stage so well done.

Thank you for your reply!

I was looking online and was confused as it did state a 3 was Moderate and 4 was Acceptable.

I am not used to the Civil Service recruitment process but found the competency question pretty difficult to answer!

Fingers crossed for moving forward and good luck to you as well!

Thank you. Civil Service recruitment is new to me as well. By all accounts it can be a frustratingly drawn out process. What location(s) have you applied for?

I have applied for Glasgow and Edinburgh!

What about you?
