No offer for me

I need some words of encouragement and that all is not lost for May yet

What??:( have you everything done? what way Is your OOM??

I'd say they are not finished with the offers yet. I only got mine at like 4.50pm. last minute job.

Well done to all. Just wondering how many recruitment campaigns have there been since 2013?

Ah I wouldn't lose hope at all, with that OOM your deffo still in the running. They must be up past the 1000's by now, surely.

My OOM is in the mid 500's so if I didn't get an offer in the first induction week it's unlikely I will get one next week

Haha brilliant!!! That's one thing I've been fairly good at maintaining... must get in to the pool again though!

I'm hoping I'll get in to the habit of living in the gym instead of being led astray in Pollys

Well I cant deny the fact that I enjoy a sip or two now and again myself haha.

Gnr_Iver

Nobody is guaranteed a position, even with all the elements completed. But usually once you've completed all your stages and have vetting cleared you should be offered a spot. Baring in mind that your OOM is within the bracket for this intake.

Thanks for the fast reply:) is my OOM within the bracket do you know?:) and congrats to you on being called!

Gnr_Iver

There's no way of knowing for sure where they are in the OOM list, but an OOM of around 1100+ should be close. But this is a guess at best bud.:)

Id be optimistic about the next campaign, if not, this one, you could be offered something next week, nobody really knows, even hrm are unsure, ppl drop out, don't pass medicals or even background checks, even though your oom is around 1100s, there may be only 800 of those 1100 eligible. Keep the faith. Your on the list now if everything's completed

Can we remain in work for the week after the induction week and then resign before 2nd of may. Or must we have ceased all employment by the induction week?

Id imagine that will be on the information pack that we get? More questions to bombard Hrm with eh ha. Id say contracts are signed on the 2nd anyway. So that's the main date to be done with previous employers....at a guess.

I would have though so myself. I'll be resigning late April anyway can't really manage 3 weeks without money and pay rent in Dublin haha

As of now, i need to give 2 weeks notice to my employer, ill use the 2nd of may as my marker, if i needed to give a month....i still have plenty of time from now to give that months notice. Info pack should clarify this. They'd be released within the next 2 weeks anyway id imagine.
Id be saying nothing for now if i was you and pay the rent ha

Haha I have to provide 6 weeks notice in my contract so I'm between a rock and a hard place. I'll use May 2nd as my date and if I need to leave sooner I'll just have to explain that to my employer.

I wouldn't say there be a problem with that, that's what I'm hoping to do anyway.

Gnr_Iver

"You must relinquish all previous employment prior to commencing training". That's all it says on the matter

IceWeasel

Great it says in the email training will commence May 2nd so that's all good.
