I'm past half way of my 3 month waiting period and getting a bit nervous lol.
I've been checking the RM site regularly and a local position came up this week. I applied 2 days ago and didn't do the online test so now I'm just hoping to hear good news.

Had my interview on monday and got the waiting list email today. Wasn't expecting to hear that quickly after seeing what people have said on here.

I did this , my waiting started early september, mid november I heard NOTHING, no offers etc, I did apply for quite a few during the time, without taking tests, each time I got "You didn't complete test so are not advancing to next stage ..." or something along those lines, so I emailed, everyday asking if what I'm doing is right, eventually after about 7 consecutive emails I got an apology from someone in HR recruitment and then they offered me a local position via email, to which I accepted and he passed the info onto the relevant manager, and now I'm going through security checks

If I didn't email, I don't think i'd have got anywhere with this "3 month" waiting list

Thanks for the info gimba, did you use the my applications email address, I think that I should make sure that I'm following the correct procedure.

I'm very impressed with RM HR department. I emailed earlier today with my query and received an explanation within 15 minutes.

I had this email during the week & no quite sure what to make of it.Have been applying for positions without any luck. Have’nt made the interview stage with any of my applications.

I'm in my final month on the waiting list and starting to realise how difficult it can be to get a position. I've been looking for positions within 45 minutes drive and was struggling to find any. Then, a couple of weeks ago, 3 jobs came up on the website. I thought that my luck was in and applied for all 3 but today I've received emails telling me that I've not been successful with any of them.
On the bright side, I've still got just over 3 weeks left on the waiting list.

I'm just starting week 3 on the List, not seen any jobs come up at all in my area.

Not too worried at the moment but as time goes on i can see it getting more stressful.

Good luck Partyondude
I wasn't checking as often in the first month, I was doing a temporary job that finished at Xmas and wanted to complete the contract.
I still have 3 applications on the testing status and 1 that's been on testing complete for 2 months but I assume that one has already gone.

I haven't had any of the emails that you have received. I've just had the original interview invite, the interview result(waiting list) and 3 "unsuccessful" emails.
Getting on the short list is good news, fingers crossed for you.
