i also applied to that one too and got turned down. im gonna have to get promoted the hard way.

"There were many photo's taken, and did they ever use any of this balding old coot ? Nope, not one, that's baldish that is. "

But they used lots of a young good looking blonde girl ! I know her and she is nice but represents less then 1% of OR staff.

Just visited Bolton. Very large telephone exchange so maybe training there.

Wetherspoons
Old Man & Sythe
Hogarts
Papa Johns Pizza take away

All OK pubs would assume all dead in week.

Was in Peterboro last year, which is where I found out about these jobs. The guys training were in the same hotel, which was next to the telephone exchange, where the training was held.

All there vans were in a neat row on the car park, they never moved all week. Peteboro town centre was ok but quiet.

Yeah, cheers for the Bolton update. Thats where ill be going. Spoke to an engineer who feels it may be an old bt fleet site in a place called breightmet. I live less than an hour away. Do you know if residential training is mandatory or can you travel home midweek.

Cheers for the info on Peterborough it's a great help to know any info as you can understand.

Looks like they have started collecting my references, my current employer has dragged me into a meeting about it, and now I'm unemployed. Was trying to hold out on giving my
Notice as I only had to Give them a week. Gonna be a long 6 weeks!

Gutted! at least they are asking means things are moving.. I told my employer as soon as I signed my contract! luckily they need me up until the Friday before I leave.
Try find some temp work for a few weeks that's what I was going to do if they didnt need me at my current job

Presumably with a proper pay-off?

It was a temp to perm job I took back in November once I'd had the confirmation I'd passed the assessment centre, was only supposed to bridge the gap to my start date with Open Reach. I'll just go back to an agency and ask for something very temporary. Posted it on here just as a heads up to any of the guys completing tasks, so if your employer doesn't already know you're leaving, they are checking references now!
