I'm in the pool for 18/19 so does that count? Lol. Still waiting unfortunately, been in contact with HR and told to sit tight. My DMI was may 22 2018 so almost been in the pool a year now. I MUST be close to the top now.. RIGHT?!
As has been said really. The start date they give you will be verbal (mine was anyway) and they then send a conditional offer (basically a job offer as long as you pass all their set conditions including medical and DBS). They will then confirm the start date when they send you your formal offer once you’ve met their conditions.
Yep. But it then reverts to emailThe updates on the rest of the process is by email. Is it a phone call when you are lucky enough to be contacted about a conditional start date?
You’ll still check your emailsCheers ttt. I can stop constantly checking my emails for the next 6 months now
I’m not sure, I did have a look around the forum as well but it’s really unclear how many people were in the pool.Is there many people waiting for oxford do you know?, had a look on this forum but hard to tell!!

As I’ve said before, don’t assume it’ll be a long wait.....you might be surprised.
Are you internal candidate mate?I’m not sure, I did have a look around the forum as well but it’s really unclear how many people were in the pool.
I personal don’t think it’s that many (in the pool) because I had my DMI in March then had a conditional offer at the end of March.
Yes, just a tadThat’s a crazy long wait mate!! You must be going a little mad!!
No I’m external, I’m currently in a completely different industry.Are you internal candidate mate?
Ahh right, so that DMI to formal is really quick then.No I’m external, I’m currently in a completely different industry.

I might of miss read that but are you saying they called you today?You should pick a couple of lines on the lottery.......
So I just received a call offering me a course at the end of August. Slight problem in that I have a holiday booked in September and you can’t take any leave in the first 19 weeks!
Haha, I’m not usually that lucky, but this is good news, congrats! Was the call from a mobile number (mine was)? I can only imagine they take their work home with them sometimes, as I can’t see recruitment being anything other than a standard 9-5 Monday/Friday type job ordinarily?You should pick a couple of lines on the lottery.......

It’s a shame about the holiday, when did you book it? It’s tricky because 19-weeks is a long time, especially through the summer when a lot of people book holidays. I didn’t book a holiday this year....no particular reason, but it worked out well. I’ll still be away through the whole of the summer holidays and will miss my eldest’s birthday. It’s one of those things that you have to weigh up unfortunately.
Best of luck though, hope you can sort something out!
Well done..... Wowww... Sunday night..great end to your weekend
Congratulations mate. Hopefully they will be ok with you having your holiday early next year.
Are you SWR or GWR?
Did they not give you the option of another course date or just say you will be put back in the pool?Thank you, nice surprise....if I can sort out my holiday!
