just reading it says on your app you have to write an example of why you would be good doing this.

anyone who got accepted could you give some good advice on how to get accepted

I think I just said something like I am always seeking answers and will never let something go until I know the answer. Something like that anyway. I think that is mostly to check that you actually want to do the job, and aren't just thinking of the money, and also that you can string a sentence together. Spelling and grammar are very important to them.

Well they can't stop you applying and the worst that could happen is they turn you down again.

Good point

I'm wary of re-applying because a lot of places say 'Previous applicants need not apply' - or something to that effect, but it is worth a shot since I can't see anything stating that on their site.

The extra money would be nice, and I'm the person everyone in my circle of friends comes to for answers to wierd questions. I think what let me down last time was my serious tone - its the 'silly' questions that can't be answered factually that I think I messed up

When doing the test dont forget your punctuation as well, ie apostrophes, I have tendency to leave these out but went over my test replies filling in bits and pieces before I sent it back.

Haha and me - I was just curious how long they are taking to get back to people. Good luck, fingers crossed

I applied a few months ago but unfortunately did not get accepted. I did not have to wait long for them to get back to me. Good luck to those who are applying.
