looking to land job on stat board. 5k starting minimum (already holding 4k offer - no specifics necessary)

What are my chances?

Zero. Only the tech specialist scheme have such starting pay

Emailed a stat board after 2.5 weeks from my first interview and they replied to say they are still assessing other candidates and will let me know the status of my application soon.

I know this means i am not first choice but does it mean i still have a slight chance? Anyone in this situation before?

same.. emailed stats board after 2 wks of first interview, they replied saying they are still processing. Heard my frens say LTA usually takes very long to process. izzit true?

Might simply mean that there were a handful who made it passed first round. Typically they will seek to speak to everybody who passed before making a decision. Sometimes due to issues like some candidates have to postpone due to reservist, they will take longer.

usually what do they check for reference check? and after that what other things do they check with you?

got shortlisted for a stat board job however as the job is something really new to me, i actually didn't have much to say in the video interview. I felt that I have do really bad for the interview partly I was really nervous. I couldnt answer the interview question properly Will I be blacklisted or affect my other job applications in other ministry or stat board?

Im very nervous when I am practically just recording myself and not face to face.
