Just asking if anyone on TSR applied for a volunteering job for 2012. If so, which sport are you hoping to be involved in?

I'm hopefully going to have a place in Fencing - Badminton would have been better for me, but considering I have fenced in the past (for a good few years) I'm hoping I could get a slightly better job than just stewarding. We'll see - my interview's in June - will be a nice excuse to have a gander round London too.

Has anyone actually heard anything about the volunteering stuff? I got an email about 2 months ago saying they hadn't forgotten about me, and were going through the applicants, but haven't heard anything more since.

I have an interview on the 10th June. I'm being considered for a role in the Event Services Team and I'm really quite nervous about it. I have no idea what to expect really so I hope I get some more information from them before this.

I got the same email, but haven't heard anything since either. I can't remember if I actually finished my application though!!

Glasgow - May 2011
Gateshead - May - June 2011
Cardiff - June 2011
Coventry - June - July 2011

So if you're near London, Coventry or Plymouth you may yet to hear from them. If not then you may not have an interview. You could contact them though to make sure?

Hey there. I had my interview in Manchester last month for the Accreditation Team. We will know of the decisions starting in October (they told us that and it says on the website).

The whole process is very relaxed and welcoming. The interview is competency based. This means you talk about your past experiences and any skills you have which would make you a good Games Maker. Good Luck !

I reeeeeeeeeeeally want my interview soon then. I feel ready and motivated for it.

Just like a job interview, they asked questions like "What makes you a good leader?" "why did you apply for the role?" stuff like that. Was an interesting experience thought

Is it a one-on-one situation or a group interview?

Erm well you sorta get to meet everyone, have a tour of whatever venue you are in, then you watch a DVD, then you have a one to one interview with a person. That's what happened to me, but probably different everywhere else...

I have an interview in July, sooo excited

[Drewski]

Had my interview in Gateshead last Tuesday, am being considered for the Anti Doping Team.

It went pretty well, definitely seemed to impress the interviewer, so we'll just have to see what happens come Oct/Nov. I am quietly optomistic about it, have to say.
