Why do people try and over understand or analyse the whole process ?
Just put a good CV together with a stonking application, and try the best at the SHL tests then leave the rest to the relevant people.
There is literally nothing you can do once you’ve submitted your app, and completed the online assessments. Having any kind of understanding of how your score is calculated isn’t have any good in the real world.
i remember a day before forums, and the internet when you submitted you PAPER application and literally waited for the letter to arrive if your successful or not at all if you weren’t.
Absolutely spot on as usual. I've been thinking this for a while, but didn't want to be 'that guy' saying it.
If it's a job you want, then put your all into the application in the 1st place and then sit back, yes its frustrating but that's all you can do. If you've done a half arsed application then you don't deserve to get invited for interview etc.
There's no point worry about an application after putting it in, just keep your fingers crossed and if it's not meant to be, then dust yourself down, learn from it and go again, don't take it personally or beat yourself up about it, or even worse, play the victim and start complaining about how its someone else's fault that you weren't good enough on this occasion.
Its generally a long process with several applications, multiple interviews and unfortunately the inevitable rejection. This is how it goes for most people, it's extremely hard to get into the grade but it makes it all the sweeter when you finally do. For a lot of people in these uncertain times, this is a dream job, if you want it bad enough then you can get there but unfortunately its not for some, that may sound harsh but that's the truth of it.
Patience is key, the recruitment process is slow, its frustrating, but it will definitely be worth it.
