Redundancy :o(

Good luck you will be fine

 

The migraine is probably because you are nervous, surelly your employer feels the same GOOD LUCK !

 

good luck, you'll be right as rain!!!

 

Hope your day has gone well Merle and your migraine has gone....thinking of you

 

The agency have been in touch with an update. The vetting procedure is taking longer than normal at the moment because they are taking on a lot of site based staff. It's done by an external agency and normally completed within 2-3 weeks, but is taking much longer at the moment.

They were slightly concerned that I have started a new interim role as I'm now on a week's notice, but I pointed out that I have a mortgage and bills to pay and it's costing me money while I sit at home (and I still have no guarantee that there would be a job at the end of it), so I'm sure that another week won't make much difference. Hope not anyway!

 

Your reply, to my mind, perfectly summarises your situation Merle. Still sitting here with fingers and toes crossed,
Jenny

 

The external agency will, by definition, take their time; this is *no* reflection on you. They can be as "concerned" as they like, that is just admin spele for probing deeper; you have supplied them with a full and frank answer!
Do the job to the best of your ability and do not be phased by the process.

Wishing you much luck and fortune, Merle xMx

 

You miss the point: it states - "it is possible ... " which of course the answer is yes, anything is "possible"; whether it is "probable" is a different question, and based on variable - which you allude to, but do not feature as a part of the text. In other words, it is *you* and not the question which is making assumptions and reading too deeply into the question (and based on your experiences).

I think many of these tests hinge on a person's understanding of the English language and all of its peculiarities!

You have to answer, based on the information you are given plus, understand the context of the question asked (which hinges on subtle differences in wording/understanding).

 

I answered that question with the same response as Clueless, and for the same reason.

Otherwise it would be equally valid to suggest (to potential employers) that yet to be discovered aliens from other worlds could also possibly perform tasks currently undertaken by qualified staff whilst they are on holiday.

(when anyone suggesting such nonsense should be dismissed as a treetreetree nutter IMO)

I've previously worked with 'short-sighted' (nothing to do with eyesight) individuals who would pass these tests withn flying colours, despite being complete idiots.

 

Yup, equally valid ... yet ... how "probable" would it be that an alien would bother to fill out a questionnaire???

 

I once worked with somebody who would've scored 100% every time. He had no common sense whatever, couldn't foresee problems before they occurred and was a nightmare to work with. But I wouldn't want to work with anybody who got 0% either.
