Presenting Officer Applications 2024/2025 - Civil Service / Home Office

Hi, just wondering for the cohort that applied to the civil service’s presenting officer position - has anyone heard back? I know the sift period ends soon and interviews commence on 3rd feb but i still havent heard anything back.

They have replied with interview links and it’s a very basic video interview for AO role within Home Office

Hi, I haven't heard anything either...assuming may be unsuccessful at this point if others hVe received links?
Although my application is still just sitting as submitted and not in the review stage that it usually goes to when the sift is happening.

Same, mine still says submitted. Last year there was a large influx of applications for the same role so they did extend the sift dates - maybe that’s what’s happening now? Idk

An email had just been sent out:

Due to the volume of applications received, it is taking us longer to assess applications than anticipated; however, we can assure you that we will get the sift results out to you as soon as possible once completed. In the meantime, please refrain from sending chasing e-mails about this and keep an eye on your CS Jobs Portal for updates. Thank you for your patience.

All the best!

I received an interview invite today as well. Any ideas on how to prepare for this?

I got an email saying I've met the required standard but they're unable to interview immediately so I've been placed on "hold"
Anyone else?
