    Speaking of clerical officer jobs...

    Did anyone else notice the difference in recruitment methods between
    local government (councils)
    and
    central government (civil service)

    In the former you send in a CV, do an interview when they discuss your CV and the job.

    In the latter you do a test, and if its bad you never get an interview, so you could have a Phd, and 20 years experience in X but if you don't pass the test they never even find out.

    Anyone know how the Civil Service let you know if you're successful?

    I had an interview for temp CO last friday and they gave a pretty vague indication that I'd told within a week or two. Just wondering is it a letter, a phone call, your publicjobs account?
