Hi guys,

just to update you about IRC61298.went for the Lit n Num test in Manpower city branch and passed both...interview is next week. This is my first attempt and am quite pleased with mysef.

How many people were there for the lit/num testing?

Fivefootsix

Finally got my call the other day to invite me for numeracy/literacy tests. On the job description page before I applied, it said the date of the tests and then said a date the following week for interviews. Was just wondering whether they will stick to that time frame or shall I prepare interview answers (if I'm lucky enough to pass) just in case they interview on the same day?
I'm not sure what to do as heard some people having interviews straight after if they have passed their tests and want to be as prepared as I can. Thanks for any replies.

Why didn't you ask when you got the call?

Anyway, I would ring to find out if I were you. That way you know.

Don't leave it to chance.

I have an interview at Metropol as well (29th). The recruitment process seems a lot more organised for IRC62053, quick processing.

what time is your interview ? Do you have to take the numeracy & literacy tests, or are you going straight for interview?

Depends how many pass the tests as to whether they interview you the same day, and depends what time your tests are.

when I took the numeracy and literacy tests, it was mid morning, and then we had to wait for interview. There were so many waiting for the interview, they had to send quite a few away to return the next day for interview.

it would be best if you prepared for interview just in case you have this the same day.

Good luck. Where is your interview at?
