Not completely sure on that. C2C Stage one assessment last Thursday and we were told that C2C have an enhanced pass level required for employment with them. They were quite clear that it was higher than the industry standard pass. Just to make things that much more....'fun'...:evil: Can't...

*sigh*...nothing at home for me today. Will send a quick email tomorrow and see what's happened. Although i'll bet that it arrives Monday morning. Nevermind though. :)

Well, our postman seems to roll a set of dice each day to decide what time he's delivering. I'll give it a little while longer then send a quick email to c2c. Not sure I'd get hold of anyone on a Saturday, but worth a shot. Having said that, I couldn't believe the confirmation got sent on a...

Nothing here yet. Was starting to wonder if I was the only one. :D

Well, got the invite for Stage 1. Skim read the download information far too quickly and nearly coughed my spleen when I saw the number of tests.....before re-reading the email where it states there are only 4 tests for this stage. Calmed down after a while, but looking forward to the 30th...

I agree...it's quiet eerie how quiet this thread is. Considering every other job thread is like a cattle market within a few minutes. Not complaining though. :D

Application submitted, although it'll be another lottery as to how long or if I get a response. The end of the submission was somewhat vague in that respect, but I suppose it's wait and see time again....

I pretty much did the same and mentioned it in the additional information section. The biggest laugh was not that it was degree only, but that the location field only allowed you to select American states.....:lol:

Same again here...3 times. At least it was actually the same email and not a rejection. The wait continues....

As far as I know (and only as a hopeful applicant), errors and omissions are pretty much treated the same. Error means you mistook the box for having 4 dots... Omission means you didn't even see the 4 dots... I'm sure someone will pick me up if I'm wrong, but you should be aiming for next...

Well, that's it...the proper waiting begins now. Good luck all... On a side note, my fiancée (who has a cruel sense of humour at the best of times) bought me a 'Magic-8' ball today...evil, just pure evil. I give it a week or maybe less before it takes a trip out the window. :lol:

I think any employment sector that has a huge disparity between vacancies and applicants can afford to use whatever methods they see fit to thin the crowd. Some employers might use extremely rigid criteria (travelling time, education standard etc), or other's may set additional tests. It suits...

Interesting. I could apply work to that one (turns as a night duty station officer on my own in a glorified portacabin in the middle of a rough estate for 8 hours), but it may be wise to bring some form of diversity to the examples...especially since I don't do that job now. Hobbies seem the...

Good advice! Thanks TDK. :) One thing I noticed about the application form that threw me initially was one of the questions was quite specific about where you could give an example from. Think it was the first 'Our Values' question, where you had to demonstrate one of their values. It...

I suppose different TOCs have different views about how much information they give out in advance. Some applicants may never have sat any tests before and not have the slightest clue what's expected. Alternatively, another applicant may have sat the tests before with another TOC or two and...

You've got me started now....had to look up the 14 worst prizes ever on Bullseye.... http://www.buzzfeed.com/scottybryan/14-amazing-retro-prizes-you-could-have-won-on-bullseye A carriage clock, a FOURTEEN-INCH portable TV, a novelty neon landline phone, a massive pink cuddly toy...

Well, for now it's just a horrible waiting game. But thanks for the offer and I may well seek some advice if everything goes to plan. Don't want to jinx anything yet! :lol: On a slightly humorous note, I can tell when something is on my mind. Had the strangest dream where hundreds of...

Looks like the mass exodus from the Police continues...one of my old response team contacted me yesterday to find out about applying for these jobs, and also mentioned another ex-team guy who resigned last month after 10 years and moved to Wiltshire to drive freight. Hope you don't mind me...

Hi all! Brand new user here, so please be gentle (or at the very least, abuse me with style...) :D I applied at the weekend for the Victoria job and spent a good while on the application form. Converting 7 years of Police experience into application worthy statements under 200 words was...
