Get in. Me too.

Kind of out of the loop recently, are you still in the 1710 campaign Slo?

Yep I am indeed. Eggs in a few baskets so to speak.

Nothing wrong with contingency planning

Definitely my plan. Can always withdraw my application if I’m successful in the 1710 campaign. Well here’s hoping.
Tho I’d imagine these posts will be filled long before that.

Nothing wrong with that, I am applying for everything right now because I am nearing the end of my education and need something full-time to get into

Always good to have a backup plan. I’m getting to a stage where I’m beginning to really dislike my job so I’ve applied for a few other things too tho I really want the cdo or obviously what we all want to be a officer.

The main aim for everyone here is to be in the same place, but its getting something to do in the meantime

I’m in a dilema the other way, I’m starting to love my job and sometimes I wonder am I mad to leave it. But there is always that little voice saying “you would regret not trying”

FinalTry32 · 07-03-2018 05:08PM

Did i hear that the interviews for CH’s start in the next few weeks? And then the next stage of the CDO’s should be out soon too?

I got the email about the 1st stage of the cdo today with results being towards the end of the month and interviews shortly after that.

I did literally did it as soon as I got it.

Banterbus28 · 07-03-2018 06:05PM

Well done guys. Grafton vs deloittw... grafton seem much more rapid and together

Not even in the slightest.

jwhdkl5736 · 07-03-2018 09:20PM

That's encouraging. I might do mine tomorrow.

I did it on my phone too.

stm1 · 07-03-2018 09:32PM

Seriously? I found the CH test 100 times harder than the IST.

Really. What was it like?

stm1 · 07-03-2018 09:52PM

There was a lot more to it so keeping the concentration was tough. They said it should take 30 to 40 mins but there's no time limit. No way I would have finished in time if there was.

Again no time limit for the cdo but they said 10 minutes would do it.

Dispatchers just chillin

jwhdkl5736 · 08-03-2018 12:45AM

Having completed that I that and finding it relatively straightforward I think the competition will be tight. Everyone will score very highly. Maybe the 100%er's will be taken to interview.

I was worried it was to straightforward and I’ve overlooked something.

Banterbus28 · 08-03-2018 12:44PM

I have a theory for dispatchers.

Grafton are a small firm and as such may only be able to manage 2 competitions at a time.

Coupled with the fact that there was an internal dispatcher trawl.

Means that we wont hear until after CDO and CH merit lists are set

Banterbus28 · 08-03-2018 12:46PM

Thoughts?

Quite possibly but why run the 3 at the same time if they can’t cope.
