Surely there will be places offered this week, a months notice for the 18th of August is the least they can give people.

I've heard plenty of cases of that, bit of a joke really.

It's a job for life and what you've been waiting for since you applied back in February:) they can give me a days notice and I'd still be delighted haha

I agree, however, people have notices to work up, some 2 weeks, some contracted to give a month. Personally, I've a business to wrap up. A months notice would be the "right" thing to do.

For the reserves I had to repeat and I passed, just relax and if you're in doubt press the button

Happy days, would save me some serious work if I got even 3 weeks notice! Best of luck.

Can anyone remember how long they said for bloods to come back and if they would contact us ?, also see the urine test have we to wait on that or was that in the report when we went to see doctor

killer91

Alright lads, the wait was killing me so I emailed them last week to see what the craic was.

I just got this email the this morning:

Dear Killian,

We are currently trying to complile a list of dates with St Bricins Hospital regarding your upcoming medical. This is taking some time due to the vast number of Candidates and time restraints of organising dates which are available to us.

We realise that it is taking some time but please bear with us and, we will be in touch in due course with a confirmed date. There is no point in emailing this office asking what is the status as I have clearly explained it in this email.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.


Yours sincerely,

Everything bar the bloods and urine you know know how you did on the day. Just before I left the main doctor to sign me off said I should know the results of the blood and urine tests in a week approx although that is over a month ago now. I wonder even by not hearing back yet can it be taken as a good thing as I'm sure they would have contacted me by now if there was an issue...

They'll only be giving lads a couple of weeks notice so by the sounds of it! I did mine on the 7th and they said blood results would be back in 10 days and that they'd be in touch after then!

Axelf0128

Lads see for the bloods is it 10 working days or just 10 days we have to wait and will they let us know about the bloods or will they just email us a start date after
