Civil Service Fast Stream- Early Diversity Internship 2018

I sent mine off right before the deadline (9th Nov), and I doubt I was the only one - don't think they said it was on a rolling basis? Due to this I thought we'd all hear back sometime around the last week of November to give them time to process everything. Also, it's odd that they'd never get back to any of us at all. I assumed, being the Civil Service, and this being an Early Diversity internship, that we'd at least be informed if we didn't get it.

Either way, you can still apply for the SDIP next year! I definitely will be, after I've had time to actually practice the situational judgement tests

You doubt correctly, I also sent my application right before the deadline haha. Yeah that's a good point. I just find it strange that they'd let one person, or a few people, know so early on and leave the rest of us waiting. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Ok petal

Lol. How early did you apply? Was it quite early or...? Just so we can try and work out how they're letting applicants know ha.

I think it might be on a rolling basis because I applied like end of September? But I have a mate who applied around the same time and she got told she was rejected a week before I heard back from them- I wouldn’t worry though because it seems like loads of people haven’t heard back yet and I think I applied quite early so yeah

I emailed them and they said they were doing the SDIP tests first and we will find out by the end of November at the latest.

Okay cool, thanks for the info. I messaged them on Facebook and they said we should hear back 'very soon'. Do you mean they will be getting back to the SDIP applicants first and then us - though their deadline was at the end of October? I didn't really expect them to immediately get back to me, as I sent it off right at the deadline.

Yeah sdip people have already heard back about their test results like last week or so (I know a few that’s why), so by the very latest it should be end of next week

Anyone heard anything?!

guys keep checking your junk mail as mine was filtered as junk. I have applied to SDIP and received a reply in the first week of November. I have submitted my response to additional questions now just waiting for a reply to that.

I phoned up HR they said pass marks being set mid December and we’ll know sometime in January

Finally heard back today! Passed the first stage, now I just need to answer some further questions and send that off within 7 days. If you guys are still waiting to hear, I'd check your junk mail just in case. Good luck everyone!
