Hi, I’ve seen this a couple of times on the forum. Try and ring the DO and speak to the manager and explain the situation and hopefully it will get sorted

4 weeks to the day. Some have known sooner, some longer. Just depends on when the interviewing manager sends the paperwork to recruitment/hr.

I considered this, but figured that if the manager wasn’t prioritising it due to other work related issues, I didn’t want to p*ss them off! I gather recruitment chase them up anyway.
You got a start date yet Jacko?

That’s true! You don’t want to do that...

What i dont understand is why would the interviewing manager sit on these applications for weeks/months and not submit them? Doesnt seem right to me.
