Hi i recieved an email saying that they offer me a conditional offer based on references and accreditation with the subject titles 'Good News..' did anyone else recieve this email which also had a link to a survey about where you would like to work? Im getting confused because i thought that they had already asked about where i wanted to work and what days i was available.

Yeah, I received that email today. I filled it in and await confirmation on where I am going to work. It has been a long 6 month wait but finally it seems I have the job :biggrin:

I've put the olympic park as first as I live very close to it :smile:

Hey, I also passed the assessment centre in January too and still not heard back from them. I've called manpower today and they said they are still waiting for my accreditation. They said deadline is tommorow BUT i should hear back from next week Wednesday Latest??? Really confused.

You have to be really persistant if you havent heard back from them yet, make sure u call the Manpower people to ask and then call accreditation people on the number given on previouse page (030..) to make sure everything has been sent

I just rang the accreditation line and they said they haven't received my details. They then told me to call manpower but when I rang they never picked up the phone.

Yep, just fill in the survey, everyone (should have) got that email.

Hopefully. It seems that you are in the same situation as the people that deal with accreditation haven't received my details yet over 5 months!!!!

It's incredibly frustrating as I've applied ages ago. Had I known that this was going to happen I would have applied for other summer jobs. I'm really gutted as this would be my first job and it sounds like such a fun experience.

Recieved an email from them stating that I havent got the job. This is so unfair. Waiting since January thinking that I have gotten the job.

Six months wasted on waiting and checking my
Emails each day. I hope they're proud of themselves..

Gee thanks Manpower. Thanks a bloody lot

This is exactly what I'm thinking. This can't be legal. They said I passed the assessment back in the beginning of December, so I've waiting 8 months for them to tell me this. I could have sent my CV out to many other companies. We got screwed over guys. Is there any way we can take legal action?
