Hello all - First post. Great forum! I too have applied for this and not heard anything back since the online situational judgment test. I take heart from the earlier poster that said last time around people were receiving assessment invites despite applying after he did etc. That said, if some people have already completed AC2 it can't be a good sign for those of us that have heard nothing at all..? The advert closes this Monday right? so I imagine we'll hear either way in the next few weeks maybe..
My background is pretty much all IT with a bit of retail ages ago. So this may be counting against me / not what they're looking for. I did my best to write what I believe was a convincing cover letter highlighting customer service in my positions etc. And also tried to leverage other things I thought would help. The situational judgement test I found to be just common sense and as long as you had a bias towards safety (or customer service if not a safety related question) I think it would be hard to fail and the correct answer was clear. But I could be wrong of course!
I was just curious if anyone else who has heard back (and those who haven't heard too actually) wanted to share their backgrounds? I was thinking maybe people who had worked in emergency services or perhaps bus drivers etc would get approached first. Particularly if as has been suggested there are 1000s of applications. I guess they need to discard a high number somehow.
Anyway good luck to all those still waiting to hear, as well as those who have already done the assessments waiting for news. One thing I've learned from reading the many threads on here is that it can be a slow process in this industry!
