Rejected =( looks like they're still going through, though interestingly my email was claiming to have been sent at 5.20. The feedback was incredibly vague, i wouldn't assume that's taking long to put together

I agree it was quite vague...I would of appreciated some specific feedback as to why I didn't get the job/was rejected. But then I guess with 200 people to get back to it is hard to do that!

Anyone else still waiting? I am fully expecting a rejection, but the waiting is soul destroying.

Just got my email - "We have filled all the available positions on the scheme and have also notified unsuccessful candidates of the outcome of their applications."

At the risk of sounding stupid, what does that mean?

Well I didn't get feedback, and they're waitlisting me in case any vacancies arise. Definitely reads that unsuccessful candidates have been contacted, so I would assume anyone who hasn't heard yet has either been successful or is waitlisted.

Haha- yeah I was much the same! I thought she'd said "Gross Resilience team" originally. Will have to see when all the details come through. I'm still so excited today!! :biggrin:
