Just reading through start of thread, if 2011 campaign is anything to go by could be anytime, some people were hearing day after aptitude some 3 weeks after. That drive seemed to be all over the place maybe this one will be more organised

We were the guinea pigs then, it should be a lot smoother this time round

Anyone heard anything back since completing the aptitude tests?

thekopend

nothing really only a confirmation email 2 days after doing the tests to say the were completed. they will probably wait until every applicant has them done after closing date and then pick from the top down.

Look at it this way you did it online no one was there looking at you
I find doing these things in person a hundred times worse I brick it just going into a formal interview.

Put it down to a learning experience this time next year you probably won't even remember it.

They will have that many applying that those interested will make the time. That's the way its gone now sadly, look at the 100 Garda Recruits, 20,000 applied for it.

All depends on what you applied for, Eircom had a stand in LIT open day the other day, I popped in and chatted the girls on the stand for a few mins.

They told me that anyone applying for the graduate scheme will be in Sales/Finance role. Anyone applying for apprenticeship will be based in the country where they are needed.

The apprenticeship, is there an age restriction for this? And will the training for it be local?

Yet again there is no specific information on this. My opinion would be, they are probably looking for under 25's,age profile for retiring in 30 years time. Also I would imagine, if they need apprentices in say Cork for example, they will place the apprentices in that area and have them working alongside current technicians to show them the ropes.
