    does anyone who got e-mail on Friday stating they did not get apprentice job feel annoyed as some people were given chance to sit a second aptitude and marks were added to their overall total. I feel an injustice has been done here and ESB should be notified by as many people as possible who went for interview and were not offered this second aptitude. How do other people feel about this?

    you were only asked to do the second aptitude test if you stated you wanted to study engineering while completing your apprenticeship. This was an option you could select on the original application for the apprenticeships. i dont think it would have added marks to anyones total it was only to see if someone is suitable for studying at a degree level.

    The Second aptitude test had nothin to do with the 1st one! No matter how u done in it! If u showed an interest in engineering in the interview they offer it to you! but it has nothin to do with the 1st one!

    I still didnt hear anything but fingers crossed il hear good news in a few days!

    Hello walsh120.

    Please read the fourm charter and give the English language the best shot you can. Perfect is a difficult place to get to but posts written in the style of text messages make for poor reading. Thank you. Best of luck with the job application.

    Regards

    Stoner.

    JUST got called for a medical next monday :D do you think il get it now or do they call extra ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭bassey


    As long as you're not colour blind the medical should be no problem. Just don't do any drugs this week. I'd say they probably call a few more than they're going to take on.

    I joined in 1983 and they sent me info on applications for 1982.
    In 1982 there were 142 positions and 14000 applicants.
    In 1983 the took on about 100 but don't know how many applicants, but these times we are in are like the 80's all over again.

  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭Gipo3

    What was involved in the medical lad?? Did u just bring the 2 forms to the doc and give them to him?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12 Munster1985


    I just had the forms filled out and brought them with me. I even went to specsavers and got them to do the eye test and stamp the eyetest form. although not sure that you need to as theres an eyetest in the medical :confused:.

    as regards to the test its hearing eyesight blood pressure, movement in your arms and legs and checking for back pain. they listen to your chest as well. drink some water before you go in too you've got to give a urine sample.

    best stay off the drink and the fags for a day or two before you go

    as long as your in fairly average health should be fine. best of luck with it anyway lad
