Applying whilst on waiting list

Post by lisag42 »

I have been placed on a waiting list. The email I received said

“If you see similar roles on our website (Delivery, Processing and Collections) you will need to apply but the good news is you do not need to complete the online tests so please disregard the automated email that asks you to complete them. You will also not be required to attend another interview.”

A few days ago I noticed a job I was interested in so applied but ignored the email about online tests as I had been told. On my profile it just says “testing”.

So what happens now? How long does it usually take to hear back?

Thanks, Lisa

congratulations on passing your interview.
"Testing" is the status used for those on the waiting list who are not required to do the online test I believe. It remains on testing until a decision is made on whether or not you have been successful.
