I do think the assessment days will be hardest to get through. At least with the online test you know what they want, you can have a practice and you know your going to have to score high.

See your doing it again, sour grapes!!! You really need to stop jumping to conclusions. My original comments were made to start a debate on the recruitment process, like they did. Had a guy say the girls know what they are doing and looking for certain words, another asking did I put over my...

I have seen a few of those with that attitude posts and am not really keen on any of the criticism, its a forum where people post to discuss thoughts and ideas, get information and maybe have a debate not somewhere to put people down. There was only one post I thought it was called for and a few...

Actually its not easy to interpret someones attitude from a small bit of typed text, not like having a face to face conversation. So I can understand that you maybe think I have a bad attitude or I am cocky but I can guarantee that's not the case. I am a control room operator on a North Sea oil...

I wasn't holding out much hope for this one as I knew how tough it would be to get through. I am hoping my Northern application can at least get me through to the tests at least on their application you had to describe real life problems you have solved and transferable skills you have. Haha...

They could have probably afforded to bin 14000 applications and still get enough great applicants to fill the...

How long do you think they will have spent looking at CV's?

Well that's me with a no, good luck to everyone in the next stage. I know it was a long shot getting one of these positions and to get right through to the end was going to take a bit of luck as well, but am slightly disappointed I didn't even get through to the online checking stage. It...

Just to clarify, this isn't something I have done haha, I am hoping my CV is good enough :D

It was just because people were talking about the initial CV sift on here and the use of software I was saying about the rumours I had heard. I am aware it's a total different ball game in your interview, answering competence questions etc

I currently work offshore who also have a high number of CV's sent in for positions. My mate was telling me the other day he had heard people trying to beat this software sift by at the bottom of their CV's typing lots of random words all to with the offshore industry and putting it in white...
