UK June Applicants 2010

I suspect they'll be looking at the applications as they get them, but I will doubt their integrity as a company if they say they won't be contacting us until September and then get in touch sooner. If we can't trust their word on something that simple, we can't trust them on anything.

If I were you (and I'm in the same position) I wouldn't wait on tenter-hook to hear anything before the date they say they'll get in touch. That way, if (on the unlikely chance) they do get in touch sooner, it'll be a nice surprise!

 

i hear what your saying but having worked with YJ before i have total trust in them, ive always found them to be really good to work with and have no worries at all about them, the confirmation email does say that we will hear "no later than 17th september" so we could hear from them at any point between now and then. it doesnt say anything about not hearing from them until a certain date.

Just have to wait and see....

 

During the last summer applications, they responded to people before the closing date. In this year's January apps, they waited until after the closing date!

 

yeah it could go either way, i think because the applications are open for such a long time they will start to get intouch with people before the official closing date, im not saying that we will start hearing next week or anything but i would expect they will start to get intouch maybe in late july/august......maybe,who knows, doesnt have anything to do with the integrity of the company tho....

 

Yeah i agree, they know exactly what they're doing and have always been really helpful throughout the application process and afterwards...so you just have to trust that they'll do it right again!!

 

yeah and the january applications were only open from 1st Jan - 11th Jan or something as far as i can tell from looking back over the threads - some people would have sent in applications before january 1st tho but it was a much smaller time frame and therefore the amount of applications will have been much smaller than the amount they are going to receive between now and september 6th.
yummy jobs know what they are doing, they will be intouch when they are good and ready, hopefully its good news again this time!!!!! ;D

 

I have applied

I spoke to someone at yummy jobs and she said they would start looking at the applications in 4-6 weeks so any changes made to profiles would be updated and they wont miss anything you change as long as you do it as soon as possible so some good news there that we may not have to wait that long...they wont offer any positions until after the deadline...but you may get a phone interview before

Ooh so you can go onto your profile and change something within the next 4-6 weeks? That's pretty good news because I'm applying for jobs (all in customer service-type areas) and hopefully I'll have something to add to mine in a couple of weeks' time!

 

well she said any changes you make to your profile until it is looked at will be seen by them

Im glad they are going to start lookung at them in a few weeks, thats pretty much what i thought they would end up doing anyway, only thing is tho for anyone whos no thinking about going in and changing
things in the profile - none of us have any idea when they will actually look over our own applications and therefore if you do change something how will you know if yummy have seen it? Does something pop up online to say that they have looked at it ? Im not guna change anything on mine now, if i start to re-do stuff il never leave it alone!

 

hey people! i have just applied!!! soooo excited right now!

 

Wahoo! *Hi-5's* Now the waiting game has began for you! Ooh, If they start letting people know within 4-6 weeks that would be fab!!

 

Oh i'm so nervous I hope they like what I put,

Apparently its really good stuff and really well put

and really to the point (my cover letter bit)

I hope they like me and don't bin my application
;D

 

I applied on the 21st, hopefully my letter didnt bore them. I highly exagerated on my cv-from the looks of it im practically running the disney corporation lol, judging by the elaborate descriptions of my summer programme, previous crp programme and my (HORRIBLE.....not that i admited it to them)christmas job at the Disney store!

 

good Luck

Hope I see you next year in FL

 

I would never have expected anything like that from you 2005CP

I have officially re-applied too. I made a mess of it though so I emailed yummy and then Hannah called and told me just to combine everything (cover letter, cv, references) into one big document and re-attach it in my yummy jobs profile. Fingers crossed that that phone call is proof that they got my application then because when I first applied years ago they didn't receive it and I had to re-apply, almost missing the cut off.

I'm mostly worried about making sure they ACTUALLY get it rather than worrying about them discarding it!

I hate the waiting. Last time around it was an exact 12 months from my application to my start date...

 

So don't cover letter in the motivations bit ???

 

linsey had a bit of a problem with her application,but its nothing you need to worry about, yes the cover letter goes in the motivation box - dont worry!

 

Ok

I also spoke my friend who did crp back in 05 and she got in first time

so there hope for me yet

 

yeah loads of people get in first time mate, i did! youve as good a chance as anyone else, just relax - youve sent your application in now so all you can do is wait and see!
