U.K January 2010 Applicants

You and me both

I have to go to work in 45 minutes and I'm there until 10 tonight. This is like some sort of freaky wierd torture

 

I'm at work at the moment (work in a office 9-5), so I'm constantly refreshing gmail at the moment! Freaky weird torture it is x

 

Good luck everyone. I've scheduled mine for 11am tomorrow.

 

;D I just heard. I got a phone interview ;D ;D

Doing it at 11.45 tomorrow. Oh god this is the best, I genuinely thought the dream was dead for me

 

whooooopee i got a phone interview half 1 tomorrow, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

 

Still nothing! Bad times

 

OMG i got a phone interview i can't believe it YAY!!! well done eveyone eles who got one!!!

 

loads of people on the boards got phone interviews this time

 

I didn't depressed much!

 

Could be worse! At least your not in limbo for what will probs be a rejection anyway x

 

I just had my phone interview , I was nervous though :-\ Oh well, fingers crossed . Good luck everyone!

 

My god, LOADS of people got phone interviews this time.
Good luck for all of you, I'm sure you'll do swimmingly.

 

I'd rather still be waiting for a possible ascceptence rather that getting a rejection though tori lol

 

Quick question:
Those of you that got declined last time, but have phone interviews this time round, what did you change on your CV? Did you add a covering letter, or get another job in the mean time? I'd like some pointers from you guys about what you did to effectively change yummy's mind. I changed my CV and made it look a lot better, put in a lot more relevant information and stuff, but it seems it just wasn't enough.
I know, from last time, that if I ring yummy and ask them, they're just going to spout the usual "Not enough experience" which is kind of getting on my nerves now.

 

Vikki.... What job do you have at the moment, what experience have you got on your cv!?

 

How'd it go!?!?
What did they ask? Can you say?!

 

Been waitressing at Zizzi since October 08. Full Service, high standard restaurant. We have mystery diners and such things, and get spot-training to keep us up to date with everything.
Worked for 3 months at Dorothy Perkins when I was doing my A-Levels (before the work load got too high - I was doing 5 AS Levels)
Worked on kite stalls at various kite festivals over the years.
And I was a steward for the Student union for 6 months before they brought in another company.

There's a part of me that really wants to ring yummy and just say "give me a chance, a CV doesn't tell you what a person is like", but there's another part of me that knows it'll just be fruitless.

 

phone interview 1.15pm

Vikki can send you my old cv and new cv to compare if you want!

 

vikki, maybe try applying for your local disney store? It might help?
Are you in university? Maybe try the icp to add as extra experience for crp?? Its a shame they've turned you away again =[.
Btw tres jealous you work at zizzi's love it there. Am slightly bored of the restaurant I work at! Xx

 

Hey Vikki, I got rejected last time, so this time I changed my application totally, I actually deleted the whole thing and started again. I didn't write a covering letter and the cv I attached was very basic - I put all the information on the profile as I'm not sure how much they read the stuff you attach.
