Online applications

Post by Pmn »

Does anyone here who currently works for RM apply for their job online? I applied a couple of weeks back and haven't heard anything yet. It this usual or should I simply assume that the vacancy has been filled?

I did and it took over two months, but yes you do get standard emails saying thanks for submitting etc..

When you apply online you should have a password and username, login to the jobsection bit and see the progress..

Yeah, it has it as 'submitted' and a day after I'd completed all the tests etc the vacancy was no longer being advertised. So I just thought I might have heard something by now.

It also depends how quickly the post you applied for needs filled, i know someone who got a call 2 months later they had advertised the job but didn't need the person for 2 months.
