Was wondering, I know people have asked about pay- when I got the call my mind went blank, was luck I remembered my name - I know we get less while we are in garnerville does anyone have an idea as to the difference.... I just want to make sure I can afford something I'm in desperate need of

That's exactly why I asked her lol forget about asking about wages! I wanted to have my folder updated and all my written exercises done

madams625 · 23-09-2014 12:44am

On one of the letters in the welcome pack it asks you to bring a change of circumstances form to the induction? Anyone else not have this form? So confused!

It was attached to the letter from the head of resources person- you would have sent the other form that was attached to confirm your attendance when we officially start

madams625 · 23-09-2014 9:06am

Haha definitely sent them them both away! Sure as long as it's filled out.

I almost did that but luckily I am a postie and was able to retrieve it and get the second form out.

I'd contact them anyway- just let them know and maybe they can send a new one out

Dekkers · 23-09-2014 2:23pm

Made same mistake meself! I rang them and they said that loads of people send them that form and that they'll just pass on that they have your change of circumstances info already.

Dekkers · 23-09-2014 2:29pm

Also, probably an obvious answer but im assuming appointment date is just our start date? And not induction I mean?

Where did you read the words "appointment date"?

On the HR form under 'personal details'. 2nd point.

Ah...of course. on the front of the HR form it says to bring it with us to the induction so I thought that maybe the app date would be then

madams625 · 24-09-2014 3:13pm

Yea I think al the calls have went out. I am almost also sure there is only the one induction

marfrig2014 · 24-09-2014 8:22pm

And as far as we know you're all 67/68?

Have to start wondering if they'll get to 65 now. Lady v you were at my PCA I think. Has our group all had calls?

I was? what makes you think that? yea all 67/68. I would say the 65/66 would be next. where about are you in the process?

marfrig2014 · 24-09-2014 8:29pm

I remember you posting after it and I think I recognised your description. You were last one in. I'm all done except for the call. Assumed PCA group would get calls together but must be a good number in intake 6 we don't know about.

Nope, not me. I must have a look-alike lol. I was about 12th in. Last name begins with M.

marfrig2014 · 24-09-2014 8:34pm

Possibly not my group then :-)

alwayshungry · 29-09-2014 8:44pm

Ummmmm not being thick....but what clothes are people wearing? Like business ? I don't want to rock up in a shirt and jumper and get a good talking too

I bought this black dress (below knee) from Tesco's business section and wearing that with flat black shoes and a nude coloured blazer

JMcClane · 29-09-2014 9:04pm

I'm going for a white suit with a white top hat and a cane. Nothing too over the top!!

At least I won't feel overdressed in my purple sparkly suit.

It would be slightly awkward if alwayshungry now appears at the induction with some extravagant getup and the belief that we were being serious (which we are - purple is definitely in at this time of year).

In all seriousness, I am going for a suit. I think it mentions 'smart dress' in one of the documents. At least if you are too smart you can dress down by taking your tie off, etc. Don't really have that luxury with a pair of jeans and a hoody.

Mop a top · 30-09-2014 11:08am

At least you won't feel out of place. Fenners is sporting his mankini apparently lol

There's a really useful thread that shield started on page 2 "starting GV soon" he outlines what to expect, what to bring, great hints and tips some things I read and thought great idea lol. I'm almost certain he posted a pic of what you should be wearing to induction and your first days until you get uniform. Basically is suits for the boys and ladies you have the option of smart trouser suits or skirt/dress. Personally I have a couple of pencil dresses I'll be sporting when I eventually get a call lol.

Good luck my lovelies, enjoy and stay safe xx

Mop a top · 30-09-2014 11:37am

Dekkers I've a lovely pair of grey kitten heeled Mary Janes you could borrow and a grey jacket. Just accessorise it differently or if you fancied I think the pink courts and belt would look awesome with that and a black jacket
