Got the automated response for my job application to DWP.
"Please note that if you have tracking running on your PC you may get a read receipt telling you that you email has been deleted without being read.
Please be assured that this is not the case, it is just the way that we process your application."

By sticking it in the bin automatically? Shitcunts.

Good Luck.

Cheers, - I already work for them (well, Jobcentre Plus), - the interview is for a promotion

They randomly delete 50% of applications without looking at them, - this ensures they don't employ anyone unlucky.

That sounds scarily plausable

I've been involved in recruitment for JCP in the recent past, - if you pass the sift and want any tips prior to selection tests/interview feel free to gaz me. Is the CSO job in a Jobcentre or a Contact Centre?

Jobcentre
It's where I'm signing on now.

you'd think they'd go so far as to disable read receipts
i always disable them, they're like little tiny promises that i'm going to reply right now, which i inevitably break

I had an email saying I'd been unsuccessful in my application for a job recently.
I phoned up the HR department to see why, and they couldn't even find my CV. I'm pretty sure they already had in mind who they wanted for the job and only posted the vacancy as a formality. Bunch of cunts.

I hate that
Had a couple of interviews last year, nailed them only to get rejected because they'd only advertised the jobs as formalities, already knowing who they were going to employ

The call I had with HR went like this:
"Well, we're looking for someone with project management experience"
"I'm currently managing a project on (jargon)"
"We also need someone with people coaching skills"
"I did a course on this" etc.. etc..

Basically I was perfect for the job, but not part of the clique.

I might be getting a full time job offer from where I work soon
Hooray!

I already work full time as someone without a job.

I get paid whatever loose change I can find dropped on the streets.

(, Sat 4 Jul 2009, 11:36, archived)

You should start signing on, - then you'd have a guaranteed income and you could count the money you find on the street as a bonus.

I can't sign on yet,
plus I don't need to. Signing on should be an absolute last resort.
(, Sat 4 Jul 2009, 11:41, archived)

Scouring the streets for loose change should also be a last resort.
