    Well as for the update guys. Been told there is 100's and 100's of people that have passed the face to face. Way more then needed for the 3 shifts. So I don't know what the best for everyone is, keep waiting or look for a new job!

    The next PERA training is full and PERA have the names of who will be on them......

    Doesn't sound too good :( was looking forward to starting at some point. How can they pass so many and not have start dates or let us know!

    So many people don't make it past 4 weeks that's why they over recruit if you like. This intake is only 500-600 it said in the manpower employee newsletter.

    It's a nice week off for me, and mornings when I go back !

    Since when are manpower going to supply boots!?!

    Very true, but they still have way more than needed. could be sometime before some people get starts.

    Trouser and t shirt yes although they will not order any specifically ! I'm still waiting for my t shirts after 8 weeks lol !!

    First time I've heard about boots though ! You mite not want them if I'm honest I bet they are so uncomfortable ! I know on this shutdown week people are in for Pera training as I was speaking to one of the Pera guys before shift the other day, he also said they would be going to paint which is ever so fun lol ! :p

    The new building isn't going to be fully up and running for a year. It's a shell at the moment with very little or no actual equipment in there so can't see anyone in there for quite a while.
