    Hi BargainRizl, I think you should e-mail your details anyhow to Issuebits. I was put onto AQA by someone's post on MSE and even though they were only recruiting for Ireland, New Zealand etc I e-mailed my vital bits to them anyhow and got a reply + questionnaire/job application form back. The questions can be tricky, but there is no real time limit for the job application bit, so if you take your time you eill get them all. Can be a bit tedious but it's worth it. I got a very quick response and got up and running with them in a matter of weeks. Well worth showing initiative etc, even if they are not recruiting in UK. Be very careful with grammer, punctuation etc. Good luck!

    I emailed them a while back to find out when they were recruiting in the UK again, and received app form and test to complete. I've got through most of the questions, but just can't find the answer to one of them. So frustrating!!!! I really want to get a job with them, and can usually find out just about anything.

    Hi

    I was successful in my application despite leaving one question unanswered so don't let it put you off applying if you don't get them all.
    Good luck

    Hi Stella

    I applied for AQA last time and got the job but I couldn't take it as I am on Incapacity Benefit. I was really upset as I know I could have done it as I am at home with despression. It would have been perfect as I could have 'worked' when I felt well enough.

    If you want to PM and ask me anything I will be glad to help

    I'd apply for this if the soft hearted part of me could deal with it. I mean, the job is to answer questions, right? So what if a text came through that said "When will my mum come home" or something similar, I'd shatter. :(

    You could always skip a question if you arent happy answering it.

    I sent off for an application form last time, and got one, but then had a crisis at work that meant I didn't get the chance to fill it in for a week, and by the time I had some spare time, they had stopped recruiting. Do you think it would be ok to send in the same application they sent me last time, rather than ask for another one? I know you get different questions each time you apply, that's my only reason for wondering.
