May Start Date

William 100 · 30-03-2009 1:43pm

Thanks for the quick reply, ill get on the phone to recruitment today then and get that number updated. Id like to know how my vetting is getting on but I understand how busy they are and from some of the posts on here, its maybe for the best not to ask in case I get a frosty reception from them. lol

They will probably tell you they need you to send it by email or in writing direct at least thats what I was told when I had to get something changed and You need not worry about a frosty reception (unless your calling twice a day

) the staff are quite professional. And if your number did not work I'm sure they wouldn't simply give up on it and would probably try your house phone next

What a fine list of respectable persons :P Hope you all get your appointment packs today (I did) - I never realised we had to bring in so much stuff for SRN!

waawaa · 31-03-2009 10:11am

really? like what? is there tons of info in the pack?

At a rough guesstimate there are 100 pages, a lot of them are double sided! At least I'm off work today, I'll have a chance to go through it all! :cool:

nickni · 31-03-2009 10:18am

Got mine today too, makes it all real!

Alot of stuff to read, and quite a few things we need on SRN etc :eek:

eek!! thats a good bit. cant wait to get a look over it, it will make it all very real. it feels like ages since i got the call, & almost like id made the whole thing up.

Me too, i was starting to thing someone was playin a joke on me :eek::D

waawaa · 31-03-2009 10:38am

i know, my recruitment agency had a knack of calling me from a witheld number on days that calls went out & leaving messages. because me phone is so banjaxed i couldnt retrieve the messages so was continually thinking i was in when i wasnt. glad that waiting is all over now though, seems all worthwhile.

Couldn't have said it better! Last Friday seems like a month ago! Never mind last summer when I had my AC! Its almost like a different decade!

nickni · 31-03-2009 10:41am

Should i inform Deloitte now that i won't be attending my IST?

waawaa · 31-03-2009 10:48am

yeah ac seems like alifetime ago, had re-applied for this new campaign too & was due to have my new ac towards the end of next month. so glad i can miss it out. how embarassing would it be if you failed it?

I had applied too, my IST was scheduled to be about 6 weeks earlier than last year's! Humph! I must let them know today, do any of you guys know the number? My invitation letter is buried under a mountain of paperwork somewhere

I'm just going to e-mail them mate, think that would be ok if i put the uid etc in the e-mail?

That seems as good an option as there is, i'm sure they have people dropping out all the time from ISTs. I think i'll do the same!

I wonder if all the boardsies who are starting in May have facebook? I think I read somewhere else that the april intake have their own group, it would be good to get to know some faces before May!

nickni · 31-03-2009 11:15am

i don't have facebook, bebo, myspace etc. Can't be bothered with them to be honest lol But i agree it would be good to know some faces

i have facebook & bebo...you can never be in contact with too many people! sounds like a good idea though.

nickni · 31-03-2009 11:26am

Can you tell i'm bored? Lol

PapaYankeeGirl · 31-03-2009 11:41am

I had bebo. Deleted it. Set up Facebook a couple months back but havent done much with it and dont use it! Oh if only I was a May'er!!

Have fun online folks but remember personal security and the security of others involved.

I'd love to be a June'r or a July'r, my birthday is not long after we're due to start training! I'll be the same age as you'll be this year.. gosh we're getting old!

Good reminder on the security thing. I'm a bit of a facebook privacy noob lol.

I am boy! The big 2-0..half way to 40. I think a mini quarter-life-crisis is in order around the start of May.

26? How very dare you! I think i'll be one of the youngest in my intake. I don't think any of the others are 19/20. Sure it's all a bit of craic!

I assumed that too with the username, "Doug-26", must stand for something else then. Ive just turned 23 myself so was thinking id be one of the younger ones too.

Nah, 26 is just a number that I have an affinity with. It recurs alot during my life in a wierd, fate-would-have-it kinda way. Lol.
