Don't lose hope, I just got a call for my first interview. It happened just 10 minutes ago, and I didn't get contacted about that Survey EI was talking about last week.

I'm somewhat speechless. I think my employers are on to me, they know something is going on...

I never smile in the office.

Haha! That's brilliant! Nice way to start the weekend! Hope it goes well for you!!!

just got the survey there... all it asked was my name, email address and to select whether i had taken a job outside of G4IG, accepted an offer for G4IG, interviewed but rejected. interview scheduled or no interview yet....

[chicagilly]

I had 4 interviews in total 2 of which I had second round interviews with and was told I was not a strong enough candidate compared to the successful candidate. Yet since then I have been offered a job in Tallaght after a long haul of a process.

Also anyone who has been given a role in Dublin and is looking for a house share in Tallaght pm me!

And chin up guys don't lose hope!

[kunbs]

I just got the survey there too... very very very basic... but hopefully it helps in the weeding out!!!

I cant lie, I still really want this and put my all into it!!! So @Khance has given me hope!!!

I got a private number call me and I missed and I have been panicking ever since - hoping it wasnt them - because my vmail wasnt activated!! Fingers crossed it wasnt them!! :|

[Who Knows?]

Got the email with the link also. It seemed kind of pointless; name, email, and select your current status in the process.

Wish there was a comment box for feedback!!

Isn't the course starting over the next few weeks? Seems to be a bit delayed?

[Mr.SlumDuck]

That survey was soo disappointing! ffs!!

[jonnie86]

I refuse to lose hope in this. G4IG is something I really want and even though I am looking at other things, as soon as I get my first interview with a company involved I will go for it big time. Keeping everythinh crossed that the phone rings in the next couple of days!! Best of lick to everyone in my boat, no interviews at all yet and of coutse to everyone else still waiting on offers.

Does anyone have any more idea about the postgrad element. Are we full-on ucd students or is our programme run externally, as in i guess do we get students cards and have library and gym entitlements etc.etc.?

Hey,

I spoke with UCD Smurfit School on Thurs. The course will be delivered at both EI location at Eastpoint and at Smurfit Blackrock and change over the 6 months. She wasn't able to tell me the exact dates or what location, or stream i'm in (couldn't access the network) but we would receive more info after we have accepted our contracts.

She also said the Postgrad will be delivered in two streams (so prob 60 in each group). (Not sure if the 2 streams meant there would be different dates for each group, or if one group would be at one location doing a different module?)

Each module will be in 3 day blocks at the same location. (So 3 days by 6 modules works out to the 18 days mentioned in the G4IG brochure) .

She also said we would get a student card in the first few days. One could then assume we would get all the 'perks' that comes with it.

Don't give up hope! I was called for an interview last week and offered a position a few days later. The entire process was very rushed, and the employer told me that they didn't have time to do more than more round of interviews. I had pretty much given up hope of being offered a place at all!
In my letter of confirmation from EI it had the following dates for classes. The ones with the asterisk beside them are in the EI offices, others are in UCD. You'll be in either stream one or two, and you don't find out until you've submitted all requested info to UCD.

Stream 1
5 - 8th December
23rd - 25th January*
7th - 9th February
7th - 9th March*
2nd - 4th April*
8th - 10th May

Stream 2
19th - 22nd December*
16th -18th January
20th - 22nd February*
14th - 16th March
11th - 13th April
21st - 23rd May*

I'm also going to be based in Dublin, anyone else based there interested in meeting up, can be hard to get to meet new people when your new in a city!
