How? lol

The woman at my agency said that the signs look positive, but the offer is not guaranteed.

They say they won't know for sure until it reaches the finance/admin stage, thats why they can't say 'yes you got the job or no you didn't'


I see..Yea the job will respond to you if you are selected..:smile:

The employers hiring you will contact you if they are willing to hire you. If you have not heard for a very long time then you should know you are not accepted there. Some companies do respond for both accepting and rejecting.But, some I huess don't respond if your not accepted.

Maybe many were interviewed with you so they have to review through everyone. So, just wait and see.

I don't know.

I was told that they were interested in me, and I think I was told in the interview that if I heard from them in the next two days then it means I didn't get it. I might have misheard, but they said something along the lines

I guess if you heard from them you should be accepted. Just contact them again if they haven't yet contacted you.Or even if they have contacted do contact them again to ensure if you are selected or not.:yep:

Yeah thanks for the encouragement...

I spoke to a good friend of mine and I sort of get the finance stage. If I am correct, its when the agency and employer reach an agreement on commission - and if for whatever reason they find a cheaper agency they may opt for them. Am I right in saying this?

To hire an employee, agency should not be a thing which affects you to be hired.
Employers need high quality of people in their business so they will try to negotiate with the agency but can't turn you down if they are very very interested and very eager to accept you into the job.
think long-term

Hmm could be. Ask the agency what is like = How is the process of my application in the interview going on?
They would answer.

Yeah it turns out it is a finance issue.

I can be paid for about 2-3 months but not the whole year... so I have been given an option, I can start work soon - but it may not be a year contract. Basically, once they get their budget free then they may extend my offer.

I don't know what to do.

Do the work even though they are less than a year contract. You will get experience in the job. which will be helpful later to get jobs.

Yeah, but that's not the point. I have to tell my uni if I am definately working for the year

I want to graduate a year later and want to work for a full year.

I am annoyed that a job was advertised in the first place if they couldn't financially fund it.

There is a possibility that they could fund it after, but I think its bull****.

What do you think?

It happens.
