AQA successful applicants??

BizzyBek

I just want to thank this forum for bringing aqa to my attention - been working with them a week today and raised £175 so its really going to help my finances and I can do my other work too. But I love the job, and am possibly addicted. I think if you are a nerdy fact hound like me it's a great thing to do and getting paid is a bonus!

Afternoon everyone, I've just recently joined this site, so much useful info!!

Just heard back from AQA, I didn't get in this time so will re-apply as soon as the UK vacancies come up again. One question, on the application form it asks if you have applied before, do you think by ticking yes it will affect your chances of getting as they might not even read your new application and test? Or have some of you been successful on the 2nd or 3rd attempt and you ticked the box saying that you had applied before?

Andrew.

Wow BizzyBek, £175 in a week, amazing!!! Am I correct in thinking you get 30p per answer, if so you have answered 583 questions!!!! I so want to get into AQA, hope my 2nd application will be successful!

How many hours did you put in this week?

I still don't see UK vacancies on the site.

I was just accepted for AQA. Just sent my signed contract back.

Just some hope for those stressing - I didn't send my test back within 2 days as the email had got put into my spam folder (as it had attachments and was from an unkown address) and I didn't notice it. So it may be a ngeative but it doesn't rule you out completely.

Also I don't have a degree, and I really struggled with references as I have never worked due to disability. Thankfully I have done some online learning and was able to use my tutor as referees.

I just checked the site and they are definitely still looking for people.

My application through came via email. I opened it up, and an attempt to fill it in. Then hald way down the page, the boxes looses its lines, and the wording does not site correctly in the box either. How on earth do they exoect me to type my answers?

I gave up! Will try again tomorrow! Not even looked at the questions!

I found that so simply reformatted the cell but that bit took longer than answering the questions, maybe that is another part of the test having to reformat their spreadsheet.

Hi

I got emailed this morning with an application and test and I cant open the attachments?

I'm wondering if I should have a specific program on my computer to open it? Can anyone advise at all, I've been waiting to apply for ages now and love hearing how successful you all have been

Thanks
