    its unfair that some people applied In jan and are starting at the same time as people applied in May which is 4 months gap...............????
    Congratulations :j, I was wondering why this was the case (4 months gap...............????etc), perhaps they were recruiting in anticipation of possible openings or did not generate the required response. Is your contract for 12months or 18 months and are you doing F/T hours and which JCP office, Plaistow, Eastham, Stratford.

    For IRC 61298, according to the job advert literacy/numeracy tests are taking place from 20/07 - 31/07, with interviews from 03/08 - 11/08.

    Have you attended for the literacy/numeracy tests yet, if so, when was it and what location did you go to.

    I've been unemployed and on JSA since January so that was a pretty big question in my mind.


    I start in August 3rd and can get half my montly salary by the 15th. The official info I got when I emailed the HR director was:

You can claim up to six advances within 12 months of starting. Payment will be made to your usual bank/building society account by the [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]15th of the month. The amount available reduces as follows: [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Advance (months)[/FONT]

    I got a call from Manpower about a week ago, for 2198. I am yet to receive a call for 2 other exercises that I applied for, I guess I will give them a call tomorrow.

    Why did you apply for Abeerdeen and Newcastle if you live in London

    Edit: so, am I correct in saying you have applied for 30 excercises and only recived a reply for 4 of them ?
