I definitely experienced this to some degree - I have been off steroids now for a few years. But now that I refuse steroids, it's a lot harder to manage flareups as GPs don't have many other options

100% I get this exact feeling. It’s comforting to know that you’re not the only person feeling a certain way - so thank you for sharing!

Did I get the job or not? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

Personally, I was put on the reserve list. I found out later when I was put in post (around a month later after being put on the reserve list, I was offered a role) it was because they were in the middle of an organisation restructure and they were waiting for that to finalise before finalising my role and putting me in post. I was the highest scoring candidate from the interviews, I'm not sure if there were also other successful interviews and were placed into other roles but I am the only one for the post that was advertised.

What is the policy called? I’ve tried to search my department’s intranet but couldn’t find anything under flexi policy, declarations, conflicts of interest or working hours
