    I got rejected, despite having worked for them before and doing a bloody good job.

    Hi, can anyone tell me how flexible this work is? How many hours a week ideally you need to work for them?

    Thanks

    Hi

    It is very flexible - you can work anytime you wish as there are no set hours. The minimum hours you are meant to work is 10 hrs per week and the maximum 20 hrs per week. :)

    THANK YOU TO ALL WHO TAKE TIME TO POST COMPETITIONS :beer:

    Just completed my Consulting agreement so hopefully I will hear back soon.

    One question I have, can your pay go into a Building soc account or does it have to be a bank. I have just started my own dog walking business after being made redundant twice last year so already self employed but would like to keep the two seperate...I get confused over the accounts enough as it is!!!

    Ok thanks. I'll wait and see what happens.

    I never heard anything more from them (application just shows "in progress") so I think I'll give up on this.

    Their application form is a sham. I've never used anything with so many glitches in it. The session constantly expired and kept kicking me off the server.

    I take it they are rehiring then?

    I don't want to apply all over again if they won't take me on just because I've already worked for them

    I'm in the same boat - applied 30th April, heard nothing :(

    Guess I'll give it another couple of weeks, but looks like it's a non-starter.

    I worked for them for some months and gave it up in the end.

    Everything about the way they operate is amateurish and they seem to go out of their way to make things hard for their workers.

    I can't believe Google can't find a better organised company to work for them.

    I've just finished my contract with them and disagree with Andrea, I found them excellent to work for. I'm a bit miffed at whatever UK law stops them renewing UK contracts, because I got 4 and 5 stars throughout :(
    Moving onto a better place...Ciao :wave:

    I applied online on the 13 May and heard back from them on Tuesday 24 May. I accepted T&Cs and received exam info the next day. I've just received email saying I've passed part 1, now on to part 2! Very hard going, hope I have enough time to work through it before deadline :)
