Not looking good for me then. I applied Newcastle and have not heard a thing back since assessments.
Oh well.

Calm down, think the first emails after the assessments were only sent out yesterday, and I doubt they will be working weeekends (unless people have had emails today?) so there's still time left yet.

What happened to your man that incessantly tweeted VTEC and Literally Branson himself?

That dude is going to nail the psychometrics!!! Especially the interrogation interview

I'm qualified and got a whole long lists of dates to attend. Suppose I'd have had less chance of booking a day off work though if I'd only been given two dates.

Possibly but I'm not too hopeful to be honest. I had 3 x rejection emails before my assessment. Fingers crossed I hear tomorrow either way.

Hi to everyone....i sent my CV and coving letter at the beginning of October. I received the email stating they loved it(sic). I then received the email inviting me to do the assessment. I did the practise ones on the website then went on to do the actual assessment. Not sure whether all the assessments were the same but mine consisted of a string of letters or numbers and had to choose the matching one and only had a few seconds to do each one. Don't have a mouse of my computer just a trackpad....very difficult...not holding much hope.

I'm now thinking the qualified driver email of only 2 assessment centre's is an error as the table of assessment centre's only had the first 2 assessment centre's on it and the table has no bottom on it.

Yeh I thought that too. Never mind, I picked the top (first) assessment anyway

Only HR who sent your application email. Why not ask them? it is bound to be more than just one though! ;)

Not had a rejection email yet but also no good news either..... gahhh

Same boat.. I'm getting tempted to get in touch with the talent team, just to make sure nothing has gone awry with my application. If others' experiences thus far are anything to go by, then it's not beyond the realms of improbability that something has gone amiss.. at least that's what I keep telling myself! :roll:

That's exactly what am telling myself. I was going to wait till Wednesday before I contacted them

Edit, just got the rejection email. Good luck to everyone who's still in the running

So I emailed and received a rejection response approx 30 seconds later to say I had been unsuccessful here's yous 25% off etc. Anybody else found this when they have emailed?
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I only say this as it seems a very quick response and any other corispondance with them has always been at least a days delay
