Gilly - they're not! I left a month or so ago because of that. During reviews they take a very dictotorial, explain yourself type attitude. No amount of 'sorry will make sure I write times correctly next time' will do. I think it depends on the SR but my experience was certainly that they expect you to grovel!0

Oh poo! I've just checked and my application did have a typo. Instead of imes, I wrote tims. Am I dead and buried?:mad:

I got rejected as well, but I have been rejected twice before.
The last 2 times I applied, within 20 minutes of sending the application off the vacancy was removed from their website, and I was rejected fairly quickly. So it would seem they filled their positions then rejected all other applicants.
This time I got rejected after 3 days and I was a bit dissapointed as all of my answers were well written and researched and were all between 145-153 characters long. They were also considerably better than the answer I received when I used my 'free question'.
This rejection email was the first to have the only 2 applications maximum line in it, so I wonder if this means my previous 2 applications discounted this one (which seems a little unfair considering they appear to have been rejected because the positions were filled before my application could have been read). I don't know if I can apply again in 6 months, as this may be a new scheme, or not.
The person that I sent the application form to this time was different to the last two times though.0 -

How long should i wait before emailing them or just completely giving up on it.

Ive just applied and got a couple of questions.
Does this induction ive heard about mean actually going somewhere to have a induction in person or is it something online?
What does the test consist of and what are they looking for?
Cheers in advance.0 -
The induction is done via Yahoo Messenger.
I was accepted after just a few days of applying and now I'm actually working for them.
It's hard work. Believe me.0 -
Just found out that i was not successful with AQA i have waited for this email since 22.3

Did not tell me what i did wrong as there are too many applicants for feedback but told i cannot reapply for 6 months ( i do not think i will bother ):mad:0 -
I guess that my typo lost it for me, as I'm not in. I did pass Texpert, so screw AQA lol
Now I've just got to wait for a place ot open up.0 -
