Hi all need a bit of help if I can.Applied for a job on the 7th of june that was advertised on the 6th of june.Had an email for a online test which I completed on the 8th of june.It does state that my testing is complete but haven't heared anything since.The box for next step is blank.Is there still hope for me that im still in the running for the job?Thanks mark

The process tends to be painfully slow, my hubby applied on 4th April and it took exactly 2 weeks before he found out he had passed the tests. Interview was 21st April. Exactly 11 weeks after the initial application, he is now at the final stage of "pre employment checks" but we still don't know 100% that he has got the job. It takes a lot of patience as most stages take at least 2 weeks but yes, no news for 2-3 weeks is not necessarily bad news :Very Happy

Just to let you know that it can be a long process and it can vary from depot to depot.
I applied on the 14th May 2015, took online tests 2 days later, went for interview on the 12th June and had reply of success on the 2nd July.
Im now in security check process which can take up to 14 days.

I know its hard to relax not knowing whats happening but try to stay calm. You can also contact the recruitment team and they will reply to let you know what stage your at.

Best of luck. :thumbup

It's the only way to find out directly what's going on. But this does sound normal on how long it all takes
