I wouldn't imagine so , can't see them paying up for that but when Ya think about it how are Ye supposed to manage?

Rgdajd · 05-07-2015 12:38PM

Ah come on now, ye're after getting into a two year programme in a large company with good prospects to have a career that will last. Most jobs requiring some level of skill or qualification you won't get paid for a month as salaries are generally paid on monthly basis. I'm sure most people whom applied had a fair idea this would be the case.

Got a call from cut-e today giving me a start date of 7th September. Just got an email direct from eircom giving me a medical date of the 13th of July. Anyone get any more information?

I called them today because I had heard nothing since the risk assessment. They said someone would be in contact with me tomorrow, I will update when I know

Start date 7th of September in either sandyford or walkinstown for the first 4 weeks. Disappointed as I was originally told July so I dropped my previous job. Glad to have a date now all the same

Mcbaine1990 · 07-07-2015 07:27PM

Can anyone tell me what is actually involved in the medical? I'm just wondering because I have my medical on Monday and depending on what's in it, I may have an issue

m43991 · 08-07-2015 01:16PM

completed my backround checks 3 weeks ago on the 25th of June still haven't heard anything since ....

Funsterdelux · 09-07-2015 04:28PM

Got my feedback from Eircom today. (for been unsuccessful in the application process)

Did anyone else get their feedback or look for it?

No i got no feedback. Do you have to look for it? Did you look for it?

Yeah, I looked for it. First thing I did when I got the rejection email. Took them 3 weeks to get back to me.

Definitely helpful if you want to apply again or to another program.

Just a couple of areas where I need improvement so they say!

thekopend · 09-07-2015 08:17PM

Must email them. Didnt know you could. Be interesting to see where i fell short.

TheInspector · 10-07-2015 12:43AM

Originally wanted to start in August so left my job then got told I was to start in Sept prity bummed but whatever wrote them an email asking is I could start in August, then got a phone call today asking me would I be able to start in August and they will put me on a stand by list.
Checked my emails today and now I have my medical on the 16th but I already let them know that I was in holidays from the 15th. So now I need to try reorganise that to. Jesus wept.

thekopend · 13-07-2015 07:30PM

So how did the first week go and what is the layout of the apprenticeship this time round.

ravingbadgers · 13-07-2015 08:09PM

My real question is what happens during the first 4 weeks and also after the first 4 weeks

RemzRoller · 16-07-2015 11:30AM

Any info on the first few weeks?

Horse84 · 17-07-2015 11:41AM

Radio silence....

Mcbaine1990 · 17-07-2015 11:49AM

Ah none of them care about this thread now that they've started. Understandable really, I wouldn't give a **** if I had started already
