If I were you do it first day , you should the accept the offer I guess it was a long 2year wait and can always transfer down the line , weigh up the best routes and in two years you’ll can transfer

Accepted t offer. After 2 years waiting had to take it. Eligible for transfer after 2 years but mite hav to add another 2/3 years before same actually happens. Doin 2018 competitions also to add options. Hope u get an offer from this panel too podsull1. Best of luck.

Thanks guys, it really was a hard 2yrs of waiting tbh. I accepted the position so all I can do is try it out and see how I get on! I asked PAS when was the closing date and he couldn't say when as they were still placing people, so u just might get in there!!!!!

I got placed today aswel and I accepted it but when I looked up how far it is, its 53km away!! I'm so confused as it seems a very long distance to travel.... I don't want to turn it down because it's so close to the comp finishing!

Take it, I travel 59k to work. Apply for mobility straight away when you start. It takes 2 years to get a transfer but you will get one.

Don't think I'd ever do it again!!! It's too disappointing to pass everything and still get kicked at the final hurdle.

I was talking to Pas this morning. This panel is closed since 8am today.
They will be filling any future vacancies from the 2018 panel.

Why didn’t the 2016 panel have to contend with a transfer list?

Hello. I got a call last week offering me a job. Department of justice. Does anyone know how long I'll be waiting for clearance and reference etc to go through and when I'll get a start date? And also if that dept does flexi time? Tipp region? I want to figure out when to hand in notice. Also nervous of them calling my current employer I have to tell them tomorrow that pas will be in contact. Thanks

If the Dept. Justice requires you to have the "extra vetting" you could be looking at March or April 2019.
Its impossible to say, because no one will commit themselves to predicting how long the process "might" take.

Oh god that's a pain. I have to ask my manager for a reference tomorrow but not hand in my notice. Assuming it's going to be particularly awkward. Thanks
