Interview advice please

[Px.]

Had my interview earlier, and as usual I let my mouth run off with its big self. But sometimes I can't help it.

Q. As an advisor what do you think a claimant wants from you?

A. Firstly for me not to call him a dole scrounger?

Can't these people see I can't help it??

Just been for an interview for the same job, they never asked anything as easy as that (I was a regular in a 1986 Job Club with half the Clyde ship building yard I know what they want!).

Good luck with that

Unfortunately I go offered the job, mainly because I had worked at the same grade before. I turned it down, as it really would piss me off. It's not the job it was the office I would have worked at, it had plenty of refugees from the CSA.

got a long-leet interview in 2 weeks for business manager for a secondary school wondered what a long leet interview was until i read the whole letter and discovered it said short leet interviews would be held few weeks after if successful at long leet!!!

presentation required on 'what skills do you have to achieve the priorities of the job' 10 minutes long, they turned a classic interview question into a presenation!!!!! god knows what the presentation will be if i get thru to final stage

[bunique]

i believe ive been offered the job now although im not entirely sure they keep saying they have to wait on references being returned before they decide to make a offer???? very confused

[Millsy2008]

Have you had an offer in writing "subject to references"? That's the stage mine is currently at. Resigned anyway!

[Millsy2008]

not yet there are saying i have to wait till the references are in before they decide if to offer me the job or not, don't no if im coming or going tbh!

[Millsy2008]

still not heard and references went in on tuesday afternoon!!!!!! wondering if i should call and say look this is ridiculous....well maybe not so harsh but you know what i mean

[-pogo-]

I filled an application on 12th Feb and got the Disclosure through the post last week. Don't know if it was sent away as soon as I filled it in (suspect not - probably a week or so later).

Unfortunately I am an expert on CRB. For an enhanced disclosure it can take 8 weeks with the English CRB (often twice that), but I have had one through Disclosure Scotland within 2 weeks.

[treacle]

its disclosure scotland im getting mine done thru i heard the CRB can take an age tho

[Millsy2008]

Phoned them this morning to check on the 2 we are waiting for and they said 4 weeks max

Due to the crunch a load of my family have just been for the same interview up and down the country will be interesting to see our success rate.
