I first applied last May!!!I was told in Oct that I am a priority candidate for any future jobs as an Engineer in my area.I had same e mail awaiting training dates, and will hear by the end of February.I can't wait to hear that I have a job as currently unemployed now

Sorry to hear that mate I'm in full time employment at the moment and am disturbed by the lack of forward momentum so have no idea what you are going through!
Good luck! If it means anything I hope you find a spot before me!

May boost some confidence in some movement!!

Hi Firsttwodie thanks!!Everyday is a killer awaiting the important email!!I'm based in the North East,so hopefully will have a job for me in my location.They stated in an earlier e mail that would work round my holidays,so looks promising.fingers crossed as have a family to support

To all the guys currently unemployed if you want some work while you wait for BT it might be worth checking Muller Wiseman there investing heavily into milk and more and need more rounds man pay is £23300 salary and it's job and finish.

Another week almost gone,and still waiting!!!😔 I think training will be April now.

For me anyway its almost definitely going to be an April start, and for the rest of us that have to give a months notice..also with the new financial year being April, I dont mind an April start want to hear something! haha

The way I look at it is they said they will be in touch by the end of February so I'm assuming we'll hear on the 28th Feb and I only say that because that way you don't get too disheartened when another day passes with no news. And if you look at it that way it's only 25 days left max before we hear something

I feel the same as you guys find out last week of Feb say 28th usually a months notice earliest start would be April New financial year/budget sounds more probable than anything else!

Just out of curiosity to gauge the areas we're all waiting for jobs in where is everyone from ??

I'm from Newcastle, just curious if there's a trend in the areas that have people waiting. I have spoke with an area manager lately and was told the majority of his team were due to retire in the next 3-5 years so there was scope for a decent amount of vacancies .... hopefully a boost of confidence however I just hope the news is good at the end of the month so I can tell my current employers to stick it
