How long ago did you find out. Think your the first

Well there's an honour I got the email literally just before I posted on here, just after 6pm today.

 

[stjimmy87]

Well I am seriously thinking I am never going to hear back from them.....I just wanna know either way! Applied a month ago exactly

 

[Coddy1983]

I also have not heard anything either

 

[Minilad]

I wonder if you can stack them and get 75% off

Which is what you will get if you get the job!

 

[atochopefull]

Well my first clue was the email telling me so hehe. Well I'm not too disappointed, it was a very long shot indeed!

How long ago did you take the test? How many days was it before they contacted you. Do you remember thinking you did badly on the test, or how do you think it went?

My thoughts are with everyone who is still waiting to hear!:roll:

I've been stalking here since I put my application in, and I also have not had any communication as of yet, I was hopping no news was good news, not so sure now!!!

Completed it Saturday afternoon. I really didn't know how I did, as in how many I got wrong; clearly too many!

Interesting, think I was among the first on here to complete online testing, not heard a peep since the 21st!

Sorry to say to this but there's going to be a lot of guys/girls on here who never got the chance because of your inability to seize the initiative

Bit harsh there mate! I did the practice test until I was getting just one wrong, any more that that and I would have ended up remembering the positions of the answers which would have been self defeating.

I'm not being unfair you've been on this forum for years and I know how much being a driver means to you but you must grab it if it's what you want

I had my first email last night from virgin...job alert

 

[Coddy1983]

I had my first email last night from virgin...job alert

Haha me too, I got all excited aswell

 

[Smudge75]

I've never had a thing, I'm starting to think my email was lost, anyone else not had any reply at all ?

 

[MarkMayf]

I got rejected again yesterday. Let's see if I get three like the guy a few pages back. Can I add up the discounts?

[Sugarpuff]

Not a dickie bird also, applied on the 4th oct

 

[Nippy]

I have heard nothing at all either.

 

[Sugarpuff]

Maybe we're going straight to interview

 

[Smudge75]

Maybe we're going straight to interview

 

[Bucko]

Applied Oct 4. Heard nothing.

The pessimist in me is saying its been overlooked/lost/rejected.

The optimist in me is saying Im going straight to interview as Ive passed assessments with another TOC.

probably lost then

 

[Ashxmufcx]

Received an e-mail at 0941 hrs today saying that I have passed the sift. Awaiting e-mail from SHL so I can do the online verification assessments.
