They said they'd be letting people know on the 27th. Not sure now i preformed either really think I messed up my interview!

duffman13 · 20-02-2013 10:28am

Its a tough one to say really, Im sure on a whole its very difficult for anyone to perform consistently well on all the tasks. If you performed well on all the other tasks bar one i would think you would be still in with an excellent chance.

Jonnylomax · 20-02-2013 3:29pm

Been following this thread since I sent in my application in Dec. Had my assessment centre on Monday for Corp and Treasury and got a call yesterday saying I'd been successful. For those still waiting they could be going department by department so keep the faith!

Already, you must have really impressed that they called so soon, the assessments centre only finished yesterday! Congrats on the job

Eoghan41 · 20-02-2013 3:37pm

Well done Johnny!

Jonnylomax · 20-02-2013 3:40pm

Thanks lads, had been unsuccessful with a good few this year so wasn't sure, very happy now though. Best of luck to both of you and all the others

@Jonnylomax, that couldn't be more of a lie. I know for a fact that HR will be meeting with reps NEXT THURSDAY to discuss who's made the cut. Your childish and cheap attempt at setting up an account and posting utter lies is pathetic.

To be fair though why would he lie?

Jonnylomax · 20-02-2013 4:47pm

Well the phone call I got from HR seemed pretty legit. And the email in my inbox confirming the offer and asking me for two referees is from BOI. Lying/pretending serves no purpose

duffman13 · 20-02-2013 4:56pm

From speaking to HR after my assessment event, they where very specific that they wouldnt get to offers till at least next week as the girl who was running the day (i forget her name) had annual leave booked for a few days after the assessment centres. In saying that I also cant understand what reason anyone has for lying in relation to the job.

I did get the same information mindyou

Jonnylomax · 20-02-2013 5:13pm

I too was told that itd be the week starting the 25th and initially thought a phone call the day after could only mean a PFO as I answered it.

This thread has been too positive and supportive for it to fall apart arguing over whether one of us got an offer or not. I didn't post my good news thinking I'd be called a liar. Good luck to all still waiting.

Newbie in the room · 20-02-2013 6:01pm

@ Jonny. Throw up a sceenshot of your confirmation e-mail to prove you're not a **** stirrer.

razzle9 · 21-02-2013 4:10pm

No bull**** regarding the offer so soon. I was told same thing, offers week commencing 25th but had mine last week and got a voicemail saying they had "positive news" regarding my position on the programme (C&T). Unfortunately no follow up call and I've been unable to get back in touch with Joanne to discuss since. Getting worried!

keller87 · 21-02-2013 4:40pm

I have no clue of this situation. Lets wait.

I was in contact with HR this morning regarding documentation I had to supply and from my discussion with them I gather no positions have been offered yet and they are maintaining that next week will be when they will be informing candidates. When did she contact you razzle?

razzle9 · 21-02-2013 5:29pm

Got the call Tuesday at half 12, my phone is knackered so didnt ring and went straight to voicemail! What contact e-mail or number did you use? They were still in the Burlington when I got called and cant get through to the contacts on the grad page!

duffman13 · 21-02-2013 5:33pm

Email (boi@cut-e.com) them asking for a call back or a contact number, the number I have is a desk number for documentation.

Clemon · 21-02-2013 5:44pm

Johnnylomax and Razzle9 same person on a wind up mission? Both only joined in the last 2 days!!

Can't see offers being made so soon, before assessment centers were even over (during a assessment center in Razzle9's case lol).

razzle9 · 21-02-2013 5:49pm

Only joined so I could comment regarding this thread, as I wanted to see what stage others were at and Jonneylomax happened to be in the same boat hence I posted. Don't see any reason to lie. GL with your application.

razzle9 · 21-02-2013 5:56pm

Thanks Duffman!

Laura59 · 21-02-2013 11:59pm

I was told we would be contacted from the 26th onwards... But congratulations to anyone that has received an early offer! Don't think it is looking hopeful for me if people have already been offered positions.

Laura do you mind me asking which department you applied for? People seem to have been offered in c&t so far!

Laura59 · 22-02-2013 12:06am

C&T so its not looking good!

Keep the faith, they mightn't necessarily be doing it dept by dept. Could be any number of orders the ring people in.

Me neither. Maybe they've let people know already. The suspense!!! Ah sure see what happens! They could take a while and be as disorganised as the recruitment process has been so far!

Jonnylomax · 26-02-2013 6:55pm
