Had a mic malfunction midway through answering first question and stopped the process . Gutted! 😞

Many people received another 7 day extension today. Please email them to let them know you had a mic malfunction and couldn't answer the first question. I'm sure they will be able to help

Yes same email received - along with 5 others I know who are interviewing, gives us a little more prep time 🙂

What? I didn't receive anything. How is this fair? I was constantly bombarded with emails rushing me to complete my interview but now you’re saying they extended the deadline?

I agree, I could have done with that extra time to prepare, maybe they will take into consideration those who completed before the deadline

Those who have already completed their interviews didn’t get this email and it’s frustrating because I’m worried they might share the questions without even knowing about the extension

i agree this is not fair with the constant email reminders someone should email to complain regarding this and this also lengthens the recrutiment time frame too for offers for no reason had to do mine yday

I'm absolutely fuming. Now people are just going to wait around for some idiot to reveal the questions and have a whole extra week to prepare. Not fair!

I agree, I completed my interview last week. And rushed to have it completed, it's not fair people are being given extra time to prepare for this. And if someone is to reveal the questions that puts them at an unfair advantage.

All done, it was a weird kind of interview and the countdown really puts me off. Now we wait. Good luck all.

They had a thread on Reddit before about the extension with people saying it’s not fair but seems like it’s been taken off

I doubt that they can do anything about it now. They have already sent the email out..

Extended 7 days? That’s seriously so unfair.

Not everyone received the same questions. Deadline was extended because not many people had done the interview as expected or many failed their interviews.

Do the civil service carry out reference checks

For these admin jobs do they carry out reference checks as part of pre employment checks

I've been told they don't and it's fairly easy to get into
