Lol @Rchilton.

According to HMRC TSP glossary, soon is not so soon but soonish.

Haha oops! Well the good news is...if we collectively keep forking out 10p each day we don't get results we could significantly decrease the deficit....austerity who?
Ah the good old coming soon update again, as well as reiterating 'around the 11th april'. I'm writing off today already.

Hi guys.

Off topic I know. Some help needed. I have posted in another thread but it's not as busy, just wondering if any one could help/ offer advice

I have completely misread the GIS question -
If you think you meet the criteria for the GIS, would you like to be considered for the GIS scheme?

I have always clicked yes as I read it to mean if i was disabled would i like to be considered. And I haven't ever realised my error until my interview on Tuesday... When at the administration section there was a list of all the names of people attending interviews. And by name it had yes. But most people's had no. So I was baffled and have only now realised my grave error.

I'm absolutely terrified I've messed up my chances of receiving an offer if I pass interview as it was an honest mistake. Any advice on how to approach it would be greatly appreciated...

I have been doing this since 2014 as I have just completely misinterpreted the question... I'm on reserve lists too? Really panicking

I have put on the form I'm not disabled when asked under the diversity and equality section

I would probably phone the recruitment team, as far as I'm aware the guaranteed interview scheme applicants have their application assessed slightly differently. If you scored over the minimum pass mark in the competencies it may be alright though :smile:

I have emailed them... I got 90% on the csist and 5 on the competency that was marked on the sift for interview... So scared, I drifted asleep at four and jumped up at 7 to email them. I'm such a worrier. Hope they understand it was an honest mistake

Hopefully it will be alright :smile:

Aggghhhh this is awful!!! First it was around the 11th, then we're told definitely by 11th April and to contact if we haven't got them, and now again it's around the 11th. I wish they would give us a definite date, I'm waiting on this news to make plans! :frown:
Same nj. I have other deadlines for deciding things looming very closely! My whole life is in limbo right now!

Can anyone remember what happened with the stage 2 results? Were they released over the course of a few days or just on one date?

I got my stage 2 results on 30 December, don't know when anyone else got them.

Just had a look back, first results issued on Wed 30th, some the next day then final results Monday 4th Jan (all rejections on this date by the looks of it). However there were a lot more results to issue, I think 3000/2000 made it to stage 2? Haha someone has commented on the Facebook status asking about the change in wording, what a hero.

Poorly managed and inconsistent posts. They should have just stuck with ON 11th if were not able to meet expectations.

I recall csr portal updated the day before I got my email and I think ppl were being notified at least a day after that too
Dont think itll be today either
Guys can someone tell me what the entry requirements are and ucas points too? Also what is the starting salary of this graduate scheme?
