Waiting list application

Hi,

I attended an interview earlier this month and wasn't successful for the position but was placed on the waiting list. A vacancy has come up for the depot that I interviewed at and I have applied via the link and filled out the application form. Am I right in thinking that I don't have to complete the tests again when I receive the email?

Also, should I email recruitment to let them know that I am on the waiting list and interested in the role, or will the application alone suffice? If I should email, what email address is best?

Thanks for your help, really hoping I get it this time!

Hi, don’t fill out the online tests. I didn’t and I’m now going through security checks! Good luck

I am in exactly the same boat!! I have never checked my emails so much in my entire life!!
Shaking like a leaf doing the online assessments, practiced & practiced like a crazy woman for my intervew, passed but didn't get the job
Same job came up so i applied via the link like instructed then bumped into assessments again!! Tried ringing customer service, facebooked, tweeted, emailed (redirected 4 times!!) then came across this post. Nothing more i can do! Hopefully this will work out because i really want it

How long has it being since you submitted your waiting list application?

Hello.

I was in a similar position to you, passing the interview, using the email link to reapply at the same delivery office, getting rejected for not doing the online tests and then being told by HR the vacancy went to someone else on the waiting list who scored more points in the interview.

Today (11 days after the last email from HR) I got a text message and voicemail from recruitment saying a role has become available at the same delivery office, so try not to lose hope if it seems like nothing is happening.

Sorry I've only just seen this, my interview was on the 25th April, got my email on the 11th May.. Was unsuccessful in my first application, 2nd one got taken off due to unforseen circumstances, 3 jobs are showing as 'testing' in the job management section. Recruitment lady told me to ignore online tests and go for anything/everything nearby! Awaiting email/phonecall every damn day!
