I had my interview on 4th jan and received an email 2 days later saying that I had a conditional offer and to send references etc/ photo, proof of ID but sods law my foot has been playing up lately as I have plantar fasciaitis and am finding it painful to walk. I have had to pull out and I am gutted.

Good luck everyone else.

Very amusing is that fact that I booked my telephone interview, but it never happened. Today I had an email from them thanking me for going through the telephone interview process and they would get in touch with me shortly.

Madmeg - I wonder who they phoned then! I hope they did you justice!
Katie

Madmeg, that is so funny. I hope they gave a good interview. If you don't get an offer at least you can call them and tell them you never had an interview, but the person who actually had the interview will be waiting for an email that may never come.

They must be reading this thread, cos an hour later I got another email telling me they had invited me to book an interview, but I hadn't done so, so would I please like to. I don't think I'll bother.

Seems to have gone very quiet. Anyone heard anything about their application recently?

IGP

A week ago I had a second 'holding' email saying they were still processing applications. and would be back in contact 'soon'.

No news is good news???? :-)

Chris

I had a similar one on the 10th Jan, a month ago, but nothing since.

My OH had an email to book phone interview today following 3 months of please be patient ones. We originally applied at the same time, I had my phone interview in November and last week had another "we'll be in contact soon" email. The training was supposed to be in Feb!
Katie

Well, I booked another telephone interview for 7 Feb and am still waiting.

No way I am working for this lot.

Like Madmeg I am staring to wonder about them...

I recieved this e.mail TODAY

"Thank you for registering your interest for a role with the 2011 Census. The job opportunities will start going live from 20 September 2010 and will appear on the census jobs web site, www.censusjobs.co.uk."

A little late in the day for me!!!! :-)

Chris

It makes you wonder if the census itself is ready to be distributed. What a cock-up

hi all,
yes i had heard this and today i have read in our local paper they are offering £7.41-£15.37 depending on role and location.

I had the same email as Chris yesterday. I had already done the online test, and was supposed to be on the reserve list.

I am so pleased....

I received my conditional offer for the role of Census Collector today.

I have my fingers crossed for all of you still waiting to hear.

Chris

Ditto on Monday.

Completed the E training today. Got 84.44% first time. Would you believe it as the pass rate is 85%.....!

91% on re-try

IGP

Well done on the E Learning.

I am sitll wading my way through all the other 'stuff' we have to do for references and copy documentation.

I guess all the 'tight' timescales for submitting the required info/learning is to ensure we can cope under pressure.

I have no intention of falling at the first fence :-)

Chris

Just logged back on and was amazed to find that the E learning test pass mark is now just 75%. I wonder why!

Had a phone call on Monday from Census recruitment asking if I was still interested in a job! Told them I thought they'd passed me over so had made other arrangements., Today I got an email confirming that I had withdrawn my application.
