Biggles77, sorry for late answer, i have been busy and also getting quite some PM's. Before i spend time writing about the assessment again, have you read my post on page 27 of the thread?? After reading it if there is anything you need to clarify let me know. The process hasn't changed that much on the 1st stage. And yes they keep inviting people, many like my self been in a holding pool 6months, I re-applied again this year (9 months after) and got invited again, passed in February 23rd 1st stage (they only keep my results 6 months) and did 2nd stage in March. They response what that some else got the position and that i'm welcome to apply for future vacancies.. I don't know what they want really..
Later!
