I want to apply but I graduated just over 2 years ago (November 2010) :frown: - so I am out of it immediately!

I also have a telephone interview tomorrow. Have you done much preparation? I wonder how many applicants got through to this stage...

I did! I also have a telephone interview scheduled tomorrow but I'm working. Which reminds me, I need to get in touch with them to try and rearrange!

Oh sorry,I didn't really get a notification or anything saying that you had replied! My interview was.... ok. I probably could have said a lot more about the work they do, I feel like kicking myself as I knew everything but he threw me slightly and half way through my voice started going!!! Ah well, we find out pretty soon anyway =)

No... not yet! Will let you know on here when I hear :smile:
.....I tried my luck with applying but the exact words from the Senior HR person was: "Don't bother applying".

How to knock someone's confidence = this!!!

The requirements said "You must have graduated within 2years".... I'm just outside the graduating period by 3months! I emailed and said this and that was the reply I got. As a result, I didn't bother applying as it put me off and did exactly what she wanted - deterred me away!

Congratulations by the way on getting through to the next stage :-)

Was very disheartening as I'd really like to work for Cafcass. But with an attitude like that from their Senior HR Partner, not sure I want to be associated with a person like that to be honest! :/ Nevertheless, all the very best :smile:
Difficult! How did everyone else find it? :smile:
