they will ask you if you are interested in the full time or part time positions. And the area you would like to work

Contract is a year long, 11.78 per hour and may include unsociable working hours such as weekends

i'm not sure to be honest in relation to contract renewals, it may be just a case they need numbers for the initial changeover. Nothing mentioned about possibility of renewal.

Best of luck to you Gongoozler

You're a star, i'll give them a call tomorrow! Anybody know what they have asked yet?

Gongoozler · 13-05-2013 05:13PM

Would you not assume that if you didn't hear from them that they don't want to interview you?

Well anyway, with me i dont know whats going on. I got no phone call.

Gongoozler · 13-05-2013 05:20PM

No. I rang earlier to arrange it.like the email says.

oh sorry yes, did they give you an exact time when you rang? for you to take a call?

Gongoozler · 13-05-2013 05:40PM

Yes of course

Strongbow10 · 13-05-2013 05:45PM

that is odd, you should give them a call back and enquire as to why you didnt get the call. Don't let too much time pass, they probably have lots of calls, so don't get lost in the pile

Gongoozler · 13-05-2013 06:05PM

Yeah i'll probably ring in the morning.

Trevor Black · 13-05-2013 07:25PM

I got an email for a phone interview, must call them tomorrow to confirm. May as well give it a lash, will ask about rate of pay etc...

Just say you are committed to your job and do everything to the best of your ability? Take pride in your work etc...well that's what I tried anyway!

Gongoozler · 15-05-2013 09:11AM

Its the company thing moreso i suppose. Im fairly confident in my ability so that should be ok. I dont like sucking up.
