yes, same for me. What did you score on your interview? I wonder how long it'll take until offers go out.
I've applied too and was supposed to hear back about my department "early" this week. Nothing so far. :/

I haven't received any feedback on my interview. I'm going to email asking about this as the page for it on the civil service jobs site is blank for me.

gosh, well done. I scored 9 so I'm scared I'll be put on the waiting list as it appears there were more successful candidates at interview than job roles.
i feel like they would of done so already, i know of someone who scored 7 and they were already on the waiting list the same day we recieved info about whether or not we passed the interview, so honestly youre good. I also looked at how many spaces were available and tbh there was a lot so I think youre fine :smile: what departments are you interested in?

Thanks :smile: That has put my mind at ease a bit. I'd be happy in any dept tbh! Wbu?
Have any of you heard anything? I sent off an email on Wednesday and earlier this morning, but haven't had anything back. I'm a bit worried about the empty space on the civil service job site where my interview scores should be.
