Thanks for the info. Although I reckon you are Public Enemy No 1 in Appointments!

Personally I think Recruiting are the best. Will you marry me?

MrsMikeLowrey

Is this my lucky day or what??? A merit score Im more than happy with, and a proposal!!!

:D:D

Hello all! What department do you ask for when you call? I just phoned and it was like they had never even heard of a merit list

Not you - sure you're married to Will Smith already. I meant recruiting! Flippn eck, I'm that shocked with my score that I cannot even propose to the right person.

External recruitment or Appointments. Their phone have probably melted by now though! Good luck with the call.

Too late now:) Closed until monday morning...

rashe591

Thanks!:) yeah they are closed for the weekend i guess i'll have to wait until monday .. What is a 'good' merit score?

Adolphus

I was wondering, if say there are now approx. 1000 candidates on the Merit List, would this be broken down into 500 RC and 500 non-RC already or are the best 1000 from the AC put on the list and then the 50:50 rule comes into force?

Delancey

The latter scenario applies - only after merit list does 50/50 kick in.

Thanks, I am from a RC background so hopefully only 220 are in that 1000, thus guaranteeing acceptance!!

rio2009

Good news about merit list. Do you have to ring for the merit list or do they post it out.

poppysox

you have to ring, just called the main switchboard number and ask for recruiting. Have you urn number ready because that's the 1st thing they ask for.

Russler

Allo Allo Allo what's all this then?!

Has nobody called appointments to get their score this morning....:rolleyes:

Delancey

I'm trying to call but keep getting the ' 3 up tone ' - can someone confirm number is 0845 6008000 ?

'Tis indeed mate - maybe they have 1000 callers all trying to get their merit numbers this morning:D

Bubba1981

02890650222 - ask for external appointments

Delancey

got through on the first number but got some geezers vmail ??!!

sassanoodle

Hi all

rang external appointments got through first time. Dont know if my merit score is enough to be honest.

Bubba1981

What was it roughly if you don't mind me asking?

sassanoodle

below 350 i know its a good score but with this process you never know

Delancey

Finally got to speak to a human as opposed to voicemail in recruitment . Got my score and I'm well pleased - in the 130 - 140 range .

MrsMikeLowrey

Yay!!! Well done you! Not too far from me, maybe we'll be in hotel G together lol

sassanoodle

well done delancy42 thats a brilliant score.

hotfuzz

Just got through - score in the mid 30s! I'm totally amazed! This is the first time I've applied and at every single step of the way, from the IST on, I thought I had failed miserably. I'm just so surprised!

Well done to everybody - this was a gruelling process. And still is. Not in yet!

sassanoodle

well done hot fuzz, thats an amazing score.

Does anyone knows what happens now?

Hey guys,

Got my merit score early on this morning, don't think they were too happy with my 9am phone call but sure

Score in the 760s, RC background... Have been following the board for a good wee while so I know it's pretty hard to predict anything, but I'm guessing with that score I'll just have to hope for the best next time round?

Have my medical early next month, too. Was pretty sure the forms for vetting or meds were never going to arrive, then they appeared through the door late last week! First time applying so I didn't even think I'd pass the first bit!

But aye, any thoughts on that? & well done to everyone getting those high scores, really brill

siv4444

hey guys i remember reading on threads before the range needed roughly for your merit score for a RC and Non RC to get in. i cant find this now of course!! does anyone have a rought idea?????

Well I worked it out all things being equal on a 440 in take it would be top 400 as non-rc and top 600 as rc. But that is way off. Sooooo many other factors.
- How many of those remain in top 1000 are Non-rc and rc
- How they are spread along the spectrum.
- How many people have decided not to continue their application. So many people are bound to have got another job and decided to stay with it or only applied for police as a maybe do.
- How many people have failed vetting
- How many people have failed medical
- How many people failed drugs test
- Of the last four points, whether they were Non-rc or rc and in what part of that spread
- ...this list could go on probably.

From what I've seen on the boards from previous campaigns where they aimed to take on similar amounts to this campaign, people where getting in close to the thousand mark easy. So I definitely wouldn't count anyone out who's made it on the list whatever the number. Remember not only did they send out letters to say people were on the list. They sent out letters to tell other people they weren't sure they'd have a position for them BUT they couldn't rule the possibility out until September next year Them guys are even more in limbo-land.

LXI 87

Just got my merit place between 240-250 well happy! Fingers crossed

rashe591

Very well done mate - I'm in the same boat with a score between 60 and 70:D

I wonder will either of us get a little phone call next month?:)

Misterjay

I just found out this morning I am losing my job at the end of Jan. Ideal scenario would be redundant end of Jan, redundancy payment in bank Feb, 2 months messing about and start at GV in Apr. Carlsberg don't do redundancies but if they did!!

Some great scores being posted here. Looks very competitive.

I'm the same mate - no job at the end of the year but a big fat redundancy cheque coming my way:D

Could we be this lucky I wonder? Better get the lotto on for the weekend as good luck comes in 3's:)

I hope I have one of my 'premotion' dreams again mate:D:D

Oh yes the lotto is an essential. Sad thing is that if I won, I would still go into GV. That said I would be in a position to pay someone to polish my boots and make my bed!! :D

MrsMikeLowrey

Ooooohhhh, if you win the lotto, I'll deffo marry you :P;)
