Trying to apply for East of Scotland Outhouse today and apparently the position is no longer available? Is this right? I'd have thought there would be still time to register. Last year it was into October before the open day

I Had the same - position no longer available, but then I realised i was trying to apply for the job I had last year, not this years one. So I had to fill out all the questionaire/work history details again, bit annoying, but once I filled everything out and submitted it said application received.

I am the same, not too worried at the moment, they are most likely going location by location.

I got a text message for the Manchester Sorting Office. Just booked my interview. Not sure why the interview is 1 hour though. Last year with Angard it was a 5 minute documentation session and then go.

Hi, as you have just booked your interview , please can you post the link for me to download the required paperwork. My interview is 30 mins & last year it was shorter, but then they lost my details. Thankyou

I uploaded it to the internet but I see there is another thread with all the attachments so I deleted that post. The attachments I received in the email are slightly different to the attachments in that thread below, slightly strange.

not heard anything yet (Peterborough) thinking I should have applied for the Outhouse as well as Werrington, rather than just trust the text the website gave me.

Applied a few weeks back for a local casual job and didn't hear anything, just says test finished when i login. So i submitted a new app for a Christmas casual at Chester MC on Monday and received an email today inviting me for an interview. What should i wear? don't want to turn up in a suit and everyone else turn up in tracky bottoms lol.
