The whole thing has been a farce!

Really?! Although I agree that the targeted groups aren't just offered jobs it's by no means a level playing field. I work in one of the other organisations you mention and I can tell you that they get additional assitance and preferential treatment. The white European male is now the...

Totally agree.

According to some who got through they didn't even write an awesome letter and their cv wasn't up to much either! I think it seems luck might have played a big part :roll: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- I think that would come across in the letter in the answers to the...

I think you're right. Not really fair but I guess life ain't really. I'm just dissapointed not to even get a shot at it when others have with, from their own admission, not the best cover letter and CV. Good luck with your ongoing application.

I think there is something in this. It really doesn't seem like there's any consistency for people who are getting through. I have a good number of transferable skills and that was clear in my CV and in the opening paragraph of my cover letter. Who knows what they're looking for? :-?

Just got the rejection email. Good luck to those that have done the test and all the best to those who've yet to hear. On to the next one now.

Still nothing here either. As others have said, no news is good news. Keeping everything crossed.

I've had neither yet so there's still hope.

Couldn't agree more. I need out now. 10 years and it's not the job I joined or want to be in anymore.

Yet more misinformed journalism. The job advert, which I printed out, says the last assessment centre is on 2nd February. There's also the psychometrics to do after that too. Then medicals etc etc.

Yeah I agree. I don't think you could expect a negative response even though it would be nice. But the figures just don't allow that really. I'll be sticking to that rule. If there's nothing in my inbox by 1st November then I've not got through this time. On to the next application :(

Not a thing. Guess we'll just have to wait until 1st Nov and see who gets through. That's going to be a long couple of weeks.

I've put my application into the mix. Good luck everyone.
