As did everybody, this time. It makes more sense to do the DM Interview first to me. You could pass all the assessments with flying colours, think you're going to get a job, but then the DM that interviews you doesn't like you, and that's your chances scuppered.
this is very true , you can pass everything but if they dont like you then you will be unsuitable
its all abit of a shambles , i know people that havent heard back from interview yet and they clearly havent made it , i personally was told my application was unsuccessful twice and successful once in the space of 3 weeks
i wish i could say more
my advice is , if it happens then it does , try not to get carried away whatever stage your at
