I applied for three roles, 22/07, 03/08 and 06/08. Still waiting for a response. But I think this is within normal timeframe. Anyway, often no news is good news.

I applied at the start of August, did the online tests and I've heard nothing since either way.

Very frustrating because the local offices have actually advertised what appears to be the same jobs twice in that time frame (I've applied for a total of 4 roles), so clearly they need people and you would have thought they would get around to contacting those who are waiting.

What type of post did you apply for? Around here they are offering 25 hour perm contracts for delivery w/driving jobs.

That is a shame.

It just reads like a generic 'thanks but no thanks' rejection email, so hard to tell why. The only thing they have to go on is your test results and the details you uploaded on the website, so I guess they didn't like one or another?

How did you find the online assessment? I ran out of time on a couple of the checking tests so I am half expecting a similar email soon.
