    Thought I'd start a new thread for those of us who have got 'The Call' for the third intake!

    So far...

    Well let's hope there's more calls on Monday.

    Any clues as to if calls went out yesterday as well?

    I'm praying for a call Monday now I've seen Charlie's AC score. I was 1% less than him and my medical was the week after his :-/

    If you don't it could be related to your vetting. Maybe it's taking a bit longer. Mine would have been very fast as I already hold various clearances.

    I'd be kicking myself right about now. They'll call back Monday. The guys started the thread just after 2. I reckon they'd have been called about 12

    I think every person invited to do all stages, and passes them, will get a job, it's just going to take time sadly, i do feel lucky to have got my call at the first possible intake.

    I have to say though, if Carlsberg did phonecalls.....

    So does anyone think there will actually be phone calls on Monday as well? The past two times they seemed to be over two days I think. I have to say that them going out a week early like this has really thrown me for a loop haha oh well, here's to a crap weekend of more waiting...

    Dutch I'm thankful my princess has her big championships competition to keep my mind off this weekend and I'm praying for a call on Monday. Mixed emotions, honestly chuffed to bits for the guys that got their call today but a bit gutted at the thought of waiting another 5 weeks :-/

    Fingers crossed Dutch and once again congrats guys x

    I've got my wee part time job to keep me busy I guess so hopefully it'll help keep my mind off it and I'm working Monday evening so I'll just visualise getting the call Monday morning/afternoon and being able to walk in and hand in my notice :) positive thoughts and prayers (if anyone is that way inclined :) ) Mop a top, like you said, if it's for us it'll not go past us!

    Least I think that was it haha you're right though,it's great to see people who have put up with this the same as we have finally getting the job of their dreams! Well done to everyone so far!
