Job re-advertised, am I unsuccessful?

Post by daambi »

I had an interview 5 weeks ago, only last week did my online status change from interview booked to attended interview. The job has been re-advertised today and it's the same contract and hours per week, does this mean I have been unsuccessful and is there any hope for me now? Has anyone been in a similar situation in the past?

Thank you

No. Its possible that you were placed on a waiting list and they haven't got back to you yet.

Its possible that the person they set on has jacked it in.

Its possible that a more senior postie has left for any number of reasons, so they advertise a similar post again.

The most likely thing though is just that the recruitment process in RM is as turgid as an iceberg in Greenland during an Ice age, in fact some have said an ice age is usually shorter. :wink: :wink:
