Hi, I was one of the last people to complete their assessmet/interview and I considered I'd have by now if I hadn't passed as the guy from HR Connect who was with me (I get adjustments due to dyslexia, another reason why mine was this month) said I'd hear very, very soon. I just need to know as I hate waiting!

I phone HR and they said they weren't sure when I'd hear as I was in the 4th haul, but there were only a handful of us that did them so I'd have expected them to have a fairly quick turnaround. Hopefully won't be to much longer but at least I've calmed a bit and I'm not checking my emails every few minutes lol

SO competition. I'll fill Everton in tomorrow as I currently have Covid. I'm 91 on the merit list so hoping that it won't take a lifetime to place me.

I heard unofficially that the first 100 will get letters first and all should be in place by March. Sorry to hear you have Covid hope u feel better soon

That would be amazing as my current role is up at the end of March. Hopefully I hear something soon then. I'm grand, just feels like a head cold so hopefully stays that way and disappears soon.
