I applied made my interest known around the beginning of August as I was a casual last year and was asked to do an early application...

I had the same problems as a lot of people, with the job is no longer available page for about 5 days...

Eventually submitted online application around the 8th September, did online assessment, had interview a week ago on Monday 17th September...

Status already changed to Processing Security Checks on Thursday 20th September...

I applied at Stockport MDEC for Data Input position...

kinda wondering if im going to have one of those infamous ATOS assessments, and what they will be looking for, when the employer is a business, and not the government.

has anyone had an interview this year yet?

I *think* I almost have everything for mine next week now, just waiting on a bank statement if it doesn't arrive for Friday I'll print off one online (says on the checklist it can be an e-statement and it has my address, header on etc)

Anyone been to an interview for a Christmas casual yet? says it can last 45 mins. Just wondering what to expect and the kind of questions they ask.

Its not an interview per say, its more of an induction, there are no formal interview questions, they just take your details and the forms they ask you to bring and thats your lot...

Just found a reminder email saying I haven't yet booked the interview (which, along with all the others has only appeared in my Royal Mail inbox and not my email account), but still getting 'no slots' when I try to book!

Where is Croydon being held this year and what times? Wonder if it's worth just turning up on Monday with my documents and trying to get seen if they have an empty slot through someone not turning up?
