But it states that if I accept this choice then I am knocked of my other counties list (also in top 3). I thought that if you went for interview you stayed on both panels and if you pass you get selected for whichever county comes first?am I wrong in this? Thanks

Em2157 wrote: » Thanks for this. Good luck, and I hope they start a 3rd round of etray for you guys soon. My question was more for anyone who was in batch 1 of interviews. I've just passed etray in batch 2, and placed at oom 12x. We had an email saying they would be interviewing up to OOM 90, so I'm just wondering if I will be interviewed before they move on to batch 3? I'm basically trying to see if all of those in batch one that got to interview stage were interviewed?

I have a list of competencies but it's from an older competition and i don't want to set everything in stone if it's updated since. Any advice ?

I'm wondering if they'll do us in batches of 90 and we'll be in the next batch? Anyone who was in the first batch, did they interview you guys in batches too?

have every idea why somebody would be anxious after a seven month wait.
It's ridiculous really.
I have sympathy with some of the staff - it's not their fault - but these processes should be in place to expedite the process.
