The job where I filled the application form I do not think I have got an interview for :( still I will get feed back from the agency who spotted it to see where I went wrong

probably down to not enough experience in certain areas

Hi all, quite a while since I typed on here, been busy on other forums and with my blog.

Update on the last 80 days on the job seraching front

I had a feedback on one of the jobs I applied for back in August, this was back in September and I did not scored enough on the application form (got 5.5/10 needed 8.5) was a tough application, not enough examples, but it was a late spot by the disbaility/disabled agency who saw this got me feedback for this

I have also try the write to the big companies method, mainly to keep the job centre happy, to show them I am trying my hardest. I have had some feedback and where to look on their websites still any feedback is good.

I had an interview with another employment agency a couple of weeks ago - I think I been in contact with all the main agencies now.

I still no idea where there got my information from, since I have never wrote to them, probably from one of thoses job websites. Very good feedback, the same disability agency got in contact with them and I did well in the typing test (number data, key depressions)

I am hoping when I get back from my last holiday of the year next week when I get back there will be a couple of jobs waiting for me on the mat.

Well after being back on late Saturday night, I got feedback from two jobs - one email was from the disability/disabled agency giving me feedback for jobs I applied for - one job had to be redesign to the orginal job description and did not think I had the skills to do it.

The other was a small company and someone left and had to changed one or two things in the job and could not offer me an interview at the time - however I would have been given an interview if the job description had not changed

I am still waiting to hear back from one fully, and in the middle of applying for another job, which I need to take my rough draft of the application form to the agency so their can help filled it in with me.

Hi all

I have just had an interview for a job I applied for a for a couple of weeks ago.

The job does sound quite interesting, but it is only for three months if I do get it, which is better than nothing.

so sorry. They always say they'll keep your details, but nothing ever comes of it.

Hi

Thanks

Before I even found out about being unsucessful about getting the job.

I posted the application form I filled out for another job.

I think this is a similar job I applied for within the same sector back in August 2007 looking back at the feedback from the company when I went down to the employment agency who helps people with disabilites or who are diabled.

Hi a bit of a update on the job front

Got a reply back today from a job I applied for - no good at the moment, not because I was unsucessfully but due to a lack of funding but thank me for the trouble to fill out the application form.

An update on the job searching for me

I have one interview coming up soon - no date has been decided yet

In another job I have applied for I got though to the next stage, however the next stage will slipped me up telephone interview there is another option to this but I am unsure what it is yet

I have quite a few unsucessfully application back - and miss one closing date because the person helping me applied for this job did not know about it. - was not suitable for me in the first place but the employer miss off a key detail - a lot of telephone work will be needed, covering reception etc

On the exam front I have now passed MOS Word Expert - 1st February after coming close both times - I nailed it the 3rd time
