Yeah, almost 4 weeks since interview now. Slightly frustrating.

Similar to yourself, interviewed on 12th March. To be honest the wait doesn't really bother me that much as it was June 2018, I applied for the role. Obviously in some cases it must take a bit of time to process everyone.

Yeah, can appreciate it takes a while with the number of applications they get...doesn't make the wait any less annoying tho!

Fair enough mate surely not keep u waiting now u have mailed them
Haha it was more just a politely worded request for an update. I was told last Friday would be the latest I’d find out so obviously that’s changed, so if anything we will maybe find out how long we will have to wait for an answer.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting a knock back but everyone who has emailed to ask for an update has been told they definitely have. That's why I'm not going to push the issue.

That was my thinking too. Not seen anyone who's had a positive response from sending an email.

Haha maybe so, I would put it down to coincidence. If I don’t progress to the next stage it won’t be because I sent an email to ask for an update. I sent an email to ask for an update about my application prior to being invited to assessment day 1 and still progressed.

Haha, aye it's coincidental and nothing else...would be a strange recruitment process to knock back someone just because they asked how their application was processing. I guess people, including me, just want to know what's happening but don't want to jeopardise their application in any way.

Haha I know, I get it. I was the same. It hasn’t helped as I’m still waiting for a reply... it’s just made me check my emails more haha.

The folk that are waiting, what area did you apply for ? I'm waiting on Glasgow central/yoker.

Wondering if they're working their way through by area

So I received my reply and in short it basically says we should all hear at some point this week.
