As I was on the edge of my seat all day yesterday, I thought I'd give them a ring and see when we'll probably hear. I was told it would be after the 12th when they've finished ALL the interviews. So just another few days it seems...

Thats more than I thought.

I would't let the number of people bother you. If you've done well, then that's all that matters! We've all done well to get even this far!

The guys who interviewed me said on or around the 8th, but then HR have said after the 12th. So things could change, you never know in this industry haha.

There are still interviews to be held this week (for some depots).

This echoes what I was told at my interview for York. Even so, I was hoping it would be more like the below:

Does anybody know if the planned start date is still 4th April?

Then you have to get all the people who make a final decision together in one room (not easy, they have to do their primary job too and it's half term so may be on leave) then it has to be ratified by HR. I don't think all depots will get their results today.

Yeah totally understand they have there normal duties to do also. Just have wait patiently

We should find out this week surely as some people might have to give a months notice.

I'm hoping that if I'm lucky enough to be successful, the start date will be put back. I have to give eight weeks notice, so I could be put in a difficult position if the start date stays at 4th April.

I'd have to pay off the final four weeks, so effectively not get paid for the four weeks notice I work. It would be a struggle but I'd make it work somehow.
