Hello everyone,

Do you know how long I'll have to wait for NR feedback after AON tests? I've done mine and application status says interview but they haven't contacted me.
Don't think they give feedback on your tests. If your status says interview then chances are you have an interview but even then don't count your chickens until they send you a date.

I had a look before I did my tests It was already showing status as 'Interview' so I think that's just a default setting, not an actual interview pending.

Yes, the portal is not the best about things like that! They should email you at each stage though.

Afternoon, can anyone give me info on the roster for Didcot?

Also looking for tips on video interview, as I didn't pass the one for Birmingham recently.

Highlandspring is NOT joking. You can use search function. Also NR website.

This thread.
Exactly. Copy and paste the most relevant bits onto a word document so you have a decent summary and don't have to keep reading over and over again people asking what their application status means or how long before they hear something!!!

Thanks for your responses. A lot to go through but I will certainly take the time to read the thread.

I heard from recruitment yesterday that the 'Interview' status within the portal has been causing confusion. What it means when your status states 'Interview' is that recruitment are actively shortlisting for interview and NOT that you have an interview - although you may well do so following shortlisting.

They are going to be renaming this for future job adverts/applications to try and avoid the confusion.

Good morning,
I was just wondering if anyone has done the scenario test on a iPad, I applied on Monday, aon tests Wednesday and now been asked to do the scenario test before Monday with a interview next week. I didn’t think it would all move so quickly and I am working away from home this week so I only have my iPad with me.
also any advice for the scenario tests I would be really grateful.
Many thanks

Hi all, new to this Forum. Can I ask about the Fixed Term Contract positions that are being advertised for Cornwall. I presume these are FTC until 2023 because of the movement of Cornwall control to Exeter PSB?

Are they for Par, Lostwithiel and Truro? Then yes. I have worked Par and Truro - many moons ago mind.
