    Hey everyone!

    Does anyone know how the e-tray works...do those who are higher up on the ranking do the e-tray first and then it gradually moves on to those ranked lower?

    Thanks in advance!

    Question for anyone who's done an E-tray test for the CS before- how long is the exam please?

    An hour and 20 minutes. 20 minutes prep time to explain the scenario and your role. Then one hour to complete all the assigned tasks.

    Some AO tests and video recording interviews going on this week; they might be waiting on those to complete before starting the next stage of EO.

    It wouldn't really effect it.

    Are you an existing civil servant? If so I think you could be promoted while on maternity leave.

    If you're not a civil servant already, if you were to start before maternity leave your probation would be extended ie 6 months maternity leave probation extended by 6 months. If you get an offer while on maternity leave you can start when you're maternity leave is over

    Lockdown and the Bank Holiday weekend would lead me to believe you wont hear anything today, but who knows...

    A lot of AO tests and applications going on this week. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s next week for EO.

    No it won't, I had a EO interview the Friday before I had my son in 2008. I placed no 3 in the panel. Unfortunately the panel closed without placement due to recession

    It's very odd they haven't been it touch with feedback on where you placed in stage 1 and numbers progressing to the next stage.

    it is they are usually very on the ball. Not sure if they are reviewing the videos of people who they want to bring forward and that’s taking time or if they just don’t know how to proceed at the moment!
