Beardfoot, That's what HR told me , it is in fact a new addition to the application but gets added to all current applications. Maybe someone who got through to interview could check their application and confirm they also have this as incomplete . Do you live further than an hour away ...

Hi, Not posted on here for a while so thought i'd put in my twopence worth. To youngboy and beardfoot . Don't be to hard on yourselves , i too checked my app and noticed the drug and alcohol declaration missing from my application. I know i would not have missed that so phoned up HR. A...
