Only submitted my application last week so still waiting.
Out of curiousity, how long did it take for them to screen your application? I appreciate it could be a while but interested to know.

Hellooo!
If you don't hear from recruitment after about 4 weeks, pop them an email. They are always very helpful and will let you know what stage your application is at
and good luck

Thanks, I will do.
Should I be expecting a response by email or by letter?

All responses are done by e-mail, but if you need to contact them, don't bother e-mailing (they never responded to mine). RING them before 15:00.

Cheers. I always like to ring people anyway - it's good to talk and you generally get a better response.
At least now I know to keep checking my emails, rather than having that little bit of hope when I hear the postman come...

Got my assessment next week. Very excited and slightly nervous. Preparation coming on well for the competency interview and fitness. Just curious as to whether anyone has any general advice on preparing for the written test? My spelling and grammar is fairly decent, but any other pointers?

Congrats on the papersift mate 
In terms of the written test, don't "overthink" it. Too many people think too hard about the content and trying to impress, rather than keeping it simple and to the point. Chances are you'll have to write a letter, so keep the basics in mind: Dear Mr / Mrs, Re: your letter dated xyz, address the issue and then sign off properly.
Also, try not to use big words and keep it simple - you're not going to get extra marks for posh words, but you will lose marks for spelling them wrong! Therefore, simple English is best.
Final point: customer service, customer service, customer service.
Good luck and make sure you let us know how it goes

Hopefully all will go swimmingly, but I shall let you know next Thursday!
