G4S 2012 Olympics Job

G4S have only just got round to phoning my personal references, and the application has now passed screening.

what was the date of your interview?

What are these two numbers for exactly? Booking uniform/accreditation collection or information? and are they G4S's numbers or the London 2012 UDAC's numbers?

what was the date of your interview?

Oh okay, I had my interview on March 19th so hopefully I shouldn't be that far off from screening being completed.

I'm surprised how many people who have passed screening haven't even started training yet. I started my SIA CCTV course almost 4 weeks ago now and I've got additional CCTV training this coming Thursday and Friday.

This is what is said in my first email when I was invited to SIA training:

"Due to the volume of applicants, we have in some cases had to send candidates to training whilst they are still in screening and vetting"

Yep so while I've been in the screening stage. I've had SIA training (SIA currently processing my badge), booked additional training, been called to talk about a basic contract being sent in the post, and just the other week I was asked how many hours I can work and whens the earliest I can start.

Tough love on your end by the seems of it...

had my interview on March 12th.... got a call around April as they needed to adjust the dates of my 5 year

Got an email in May saying i failed the screening

Phoned them up and spent 2 weeks trying to prove that i wasn't a terrorist during a year i spent out of college... finally proved that with a document

Waited a further 40 days or so after sending them that document before they actually got round to contacting my 2 personal referees and then they told me that it'd be sent to the training department.

They've ****ed me around so much I'm thinking this may not be worth it! May just try and find odd jobs on gumtree

From what I've read on here... it sounds like lots of people, especially those who are only getting on with training now will have a difficult time completing 5 shifts to get the pay back for the training

The person who i spent 1.15 hours waiting on the phone to talk to said there were people who were passed through screening weeks ago that were still trying to get booked into a SIA course, and it seems like they are only running them for the next 3 weeks

Yes its not G4S you pick it up from so they won't know

They are g4s numbers and like i said before, these are just numbers that called me.

You dont need an appointment to pick accreditation, its possible to pick it up without an appointment. No one asks what time your booked in. G4s arent even at the place

Hey, does anyone know if we collect our SIA licenses, or are they sent to us in the post?

What did the survey ask you? I never got it. I did get an email about availability though.
