How was everyone’s interview? I found some questions so jarring

Not good from me. Difficult questions and I struggled with the lack of a human being to speak to

Can someone email them to ask when they will send the outcomes for the video interview. I would've done it myself but I've emailed them so many times that they are probably sick of me now.

Looking at the thread from last year, that one took 7 weeks it seems. But this one was severely delayed in starting so I don't think it'll be as long as that. I reckon we'll find out this week or next week

Anyone else had their application status updated saying interview slot has been booked?

Yes! Just checked and mine says interview slot booked

Same! Hopefully that's positive news and not a civil service glitch

Anyone received anything further? Or different to the interview message?

I emailed the recruitment team about this and they said they are still finalising the outcomes?! Unsure if it was a glitch or not but hopefully will hear soon

Rejected :frown: I was wondering what people's scores were? I got an overall score of 26, does anyone know what the cut-off point is?

I think it would be scoring the minimum pass mark of 4 in all 7 questions. This would give a total score if 28. So you're not far off. Dont be disheartened. Apply again next year. I know people in the fast stream that got rejected twice and then were successful third time round. All the best.

I haven’t got it either, my application centre also won’t allow me to book an assessment centre slot, it updated on friday morning to ‘application being reviewed’ after I had the email on thursday to say I had been successful! very strange, i’ve emailed the recruitment email a few times but no response yet

I have the same issue. I emailed the recruitment team so that they can forward me the link as soon as possible. I understand they haven’t sent the invitations to the AC yet?

I just wasn’t sure, as the guidance is so confusing and gives conflicting information about whether we book it ourselves or they send us a link. I did have an option to book a slot on thursday evening but this had disappeared by friday morning. Does your application centre say your application is still being reviewed or does it say invited to interview?
