I'm not sure if it's the contract or not. It says that your formal offer of employment will be issued in April.

Ok, I haven't got anything. I know for sure that they have yet to contact one of my referees.

Was what you got a few weeks ago the confirmation of the offer?

The email today is a formal offer of the position; the one I got anyway

keller87

Got it now.

Eoghan41

So is it a formal contract then? Like if we sign is there no going back?

Nope, the formal contract will come on April!

Eoghan41

Then what is the difference between this and the previous email?

keller87

this is a formal offer, the previous one a provisional one I guess.that's it!

blondeybaba

So I should expect another email? They just contacted my references

blondeybaba

Hi everyone,

My name is Nikkar, I have also been offered a position in C&T. I am coming over from the UK and a bit anxious about the whole move thing. Can I suggest we all (those starting in Sept) set up a facebook group to communicate easier with each other.

Hey,

Just requested to join it. Maybe you could change the setting to closed instead of open so as random members of the public cant see it? Also not sure Joanne should have access to our personal Facebook pages haha

I agree probably best she doesn't!

NedNoodles

Just got rejected.

Rejected is an ugly word.

Hi, can someone send me on the number for HR? Maybe the one they used to contact you. I have tried the number on the grad website but it is out of use?!?!

Terrible service on BOI part, I have been waiting for contact for 3 months now. I am assuming I have been rejected but would like some feedback!

jonnny68

Just out of curiosity anyone who went for an interview with Boi (non graduate) how long were you waiting before you received any feedback?

jonnny68

Got a call this afternoon from BOI asking if I was still interested i said sure she said I've been successful so delighted, she said will post me out a contract, funnily enough I was on my way to another job interview so i just rang them and told them the news.

Will I also get email confirmation too, and when I get the contract have i to sign it and return it straight away or just bring it with me on my first day?

Well done Johnny! You'll get an email confirmation and a contract too. Send both back in the post ASAP I reckon! What area did you get?

FOS5252

Just seen the position advertised on irishjobs.ie and applied, went for interview and was successful, didn't say anything about the aforementioned.

I assume they've probably contacted my old job for a reference anyway (you would imagine that's what they would do before making an offer)

Are you sure it's the Grad role? What was the role advertised?
