What was the story with the second interview?

There was a total mix up with my interview - the panel thought I was there for a second interview! Luckily I had my confirmation email with me so we went ahead with a full interview but they must have spent the rest of the day trying to catch up.

Any ideas why some people were called back?

In the first interview i was asked the competencies but this included the collaborating and partnering competency, which was not stated in the pack, they didn't ask the MQS so the second interview was only about the MQS one competency.

Oh I see, thanks! Hope they don't keep you waiting too much longer.
Still waiting for Leeds too, although I have been offered an internal HO job due to start after Christmas so won't be accepting this one but 4 /5 weeks wait is not acceptable.

Hope everyone hears by next week!
Anyone received a response? I have received an email two weeks ago advising I had been successful at interview stage and will hear soon; but nothing since then. Arrrggghh the wait!! 😳

If it was the same email as the rest of us, it also said it will take *at least* two weeks to hear anything else

Received mine on the 2/12. I think Bristol were first for some reason but probably something to do with the expected rollout dates for the new offices. I haven't seen many other locations, if any, send out their offers yet.

Looks like some results were released on 28 November 2016 and then none since then.

I am wondering those results were for the top scorers and least scorers, and the rest in between are yet to be released?

Received my 'you passed the interview' email on the 28th but provisional offer on the 2/12. I think everyone was the same? At least for Bristol.
