My DH has been made redundant with very little notice or consultation (pay in lieu of notice). I'm full of panic and still in shock but I'm trying to stay calm for his sake. So instead of stressing him out with all my questions, I'm turning to mumsnet instead.
He managed to get an interview for a local authority. The job is a 40k technical office role. He can do the job standing on his head, he's been doing it successfully for years in the private sector.
The advert unexpectedly closed a week early. There was no mention that they might do this when they get too many candidates. When he booked the interview on the online portal there was only one other slot taken and rest were empty. Do you think the early closure means it's been earmarked for an internal candidate? He qualifies for an interview due to their disability policy so I wonder if it's all a waste of his time and they're only seeing him because they have to for equal opps purposes.
Also if anyone works in the sector, how long after the interview do they inform the successful candidate?
I'm trying to calm my inner stress by managing my expectations!
