😱 Was it a large campaign? Bigger than the litigation one?
I got offered another position in the Home Office for an interview I did well after this one..
I think so 250 vacancies… I had an interview with HSE after this interview and got lashed on the reserve list! Urghhhh x

Mine too tbh… my friend waited 4 months for FNORC campaign. We both work for home office now but it’s a shambles

What is working for the home office actually like?
I wouldn’t even know what to feel if I waited this long to be unsuccessful or I am successful and I end up not liking the job 😭
I think this campaign was of a smaller size. Oh well that's still better than nothing, I got on the reserve list for another position in the Home Office and after a few months they offered me a position. It does mean the extra wait though... But it can be an opportunity to see if anything you prefer pops up.. But ya the waiting, always the waiting .. starting to understand that's how it works with the Civil Service.

Tbh I actually really love it! Should have done it years ago! I’ve got 2 little boys 5 and 3 and they are so good with being flexible and the fact I can hybrid work helps too! X
I’m only applying for other jobs as I was brought in agency and then given a fixed term appointment for 12 months because it’s a pilot I’m working on it should be finished end of the year so god knows what I’m going to do lol
I don't know if this is correct but from what I've heard, once you have your foot in the door, it becomes easier to secure a job in the Civil service..

Hmm because im FTA im not sure… im hoping they just move me to another part which isn’t a pilot but we work amongst them. Then make me perm hahahaha but tbh this job sounds interesting!
Ya.. Nothing like the insecurity of being Fixed term.. Yes it does sound interesting! And seem like it could have a good career progression too. Personally though, I completely messed up my interview, so I don't hold overly high hopes.. How did you find it?

I have to stop refreshing the page 😩

Yeah the career progression sounds amazing! I’m not sure how it went hahahaha! I know one thing I didn’t look at the questions on the side haha I just waffled! X

Oh no, why do you think you messed up? I’m sure you did much better than you think!
The wait is agonising! 7 weeks, I almost can’t believe it. I haven’t emailed but I want to, I just think the generic email response will make me feel worse.
I wish I could dare hope it went better than I think it did but I was literally forgetting the questions in the midst of answering them 😬 My brain sort of... died, not particularly convenient. And my neighbours thought the time was fitting to start playing loud drum & bass music... and my cat mewing at high volume in the background.. Still... one never knows 😅

Tell me about it 😂 At this point I'm starting to think the results won't even come out this month..

It’s so crazy honestly. Surely it can’t take this long to go through interviews. They must have got thousands then

Perhaps they don't need us anymore?
