I had my interview for BFO 6 weeks ago and I still haven’t received my professional offer yet I got an email within 24 hours stating I was successful:/


Same! I have been waiting for so long for Heathrow. Do you know why this wait is? Do you know how much longer we need to wait?
What is the next stage?

Just because you've passed your interview doesn't mean you'll automatically receive a provisional offer. You may be put on a reserve list for 12 months.

It is correct, I've been through the process. Applied in April 2022 got a provisional offer March 2023 currently going through checks. I had the email to say I was successful too but was then put on a reserve list. Yes, you will be notified by email if you're on a reserve list but my message above was trying to say don't get too excited because you've had an email to say you've passed the interview, you could then receive a further email a few months later telling you you're on the reserve list. You don't always automatically get a provisional offer. Some areas have more vacancies than others. I applied over year ago and still ongoing. Good Luck anyway

Thank you, no problem, its just a roller coaster ride of emotions the whole recruitment process. From someone who's been through the process I understand. The best thing you can do is try and switch off and what will be will be. I had to take another job because I knew how long the whole recruitment process can take. Good Luck anyways

Hi,
is this for heathrow border force officer?

Reply 796

To be honest I’m going to stop email watching. It is a long process that’s because of the nature of the job we’ve applied for. If it was for a job in MC Donald’s then yes it would be ludicrous but given we’ve applied for a job that deals with our countries border security then all the checks and length of time between updates doesn’t seem as bad. Still got my fingers crossed and wishing everyone whose waiting to hear “Good Luck”.

Gained security clearance for BFO role at Heathrow, anyone know what happens next in the pre employment checks? Just waiting for a start date/formal offer but I've also been offered a met police role so literally refreshing mails every day for some news!

Was it a live zoom Interview? What kinds of stuff do they ask? Any difficult or tricky questions?
