Probably worth mentioning to you lot, I am already in the CS and went to a cross forum event the other day. BF were there, and I spoke to a pretty big cheese. Cannot remember the ladies name. I asked her about the delays and whether a job would actually materialise. She told me there was a big probability it would, but mentioned a back log specifically for SC clearances, as current BFOs were getting them redone. Also that in Manchester they would need 60 BFO for the new extension at the airport.

Reserve for about a month, then provisional offer followed by plenty of forms to fill in, one of which was for Sc

A provisional offer would be great. At least it gets the ball rolling and it's a step closer to a start date.

For now though, just have to be patient and keep the faith.

After the interview a few months ago, I was put on the reserve list, then about 3 weeks later offered a position at Gatwick. Everything went through quickly after.. Have you heard anything?

Anyone heard anything about Gatwick roles after interviews last week?

For those successful at interview and placed on the reserve list, approximately how long were you waiting before being contacted / emailed a provisional job offer?

I am in the civil service already, I find recruitment etc usually slows right down due to the summer holidays / annual leave / term time colleagues.

Thanks for that Griff_d. Seen that prior to my earlier post.

Anyone here applied for Liverpool or Manchester that was successful at interview in the last 12 months? How long were all of you waiting before receiving the provisional offer?

I know this will vary up and down the country, I should have been more specific. :banghead:

Strong demonstration. Was also told successful 1sr July. I know someone who works with BF, he had said he has never known anyone not go on a reserve list first...

Same here, mate! Liverpool as my first choice, Manchester second choice.

Interview was in Manchester on Wednesday 12th June. Received an email to confirm I was successful on the 1st July. Placed on reserve list.

Strong demonstration also. I hope we all get some good news soon. Hopefully we get selected for an intake later this year. I'd be more than happy with that.
