    Anyone else who now has the confirmation email, do you think they want us to scan and email the external application form rather than post it?

    Are HR people so busy that they can't send a rejection email? We all know it's a made up job anyway.

    It's not a made up job, and it's the sector I'll be going in to... No need for that.. You could just call them?

    A bit of patience is needed here lads. HR are not going to issue all offers in one go. It will be done in tranches in case they get rejections. Just sit tight and even still you might be lucky enough to get your second preference.

    Can I ask how people are returning the application forms? By scanning it or sending it by post?

    Sorry to hear that man but there may be people that take other jobs so there's still a slight chance

    Sorry to hear that lads. Was offered my second choice in risk. If I were to sign a contract but find a front office role elsewhere could BOI hold me to it.

    Sorry to hear that, if you dont mind me asking what is bad about working in risk. If you sign a contract they can sue you for breach of contract but in all likelyhood that wont happen as its to costly for them. The biggest negative is the probably will blacklist you if you apply for future positions in the company. Congrats on the offer though

    Risk is a back office role duffman meaning they have little impact on the overall operations of the bank as opposed to someone working in the front office. The exit opportunities to someone working in the front office are also far greater. If you stay in the back office for more than three years, you're there for life.

    @cp_mcg, @ Ohanlon89, what roles did you guys apply for.

    Got the rejection call there for C&T.
    Not remotely surprised tbh. My background and career interest is in a different field an I'd say that shone through in the presentation and interview..
