British Gas Apprenticeship Advice Needed Please!

[cobey321]

Still havent heard anything back, they did say they are going to be really busy finishing these phone interviews when i originally spoke to them, They said they would get back to me within around 2 weeks and its just past that now. Do yous think i should give them a call and see whats happining or just wait until the call me? Thanks guys

No harm in calling them. It was four months from applying to starting when I joined BG 15 years ago. They don't rush.

Thanks for the comment albatross 🙂 I tried calling them a few times there was about a 15 minute wait lol they are really busy. I emailed them so hopfully they get back to me soon. Since you still work for BG is there any inside info you can give that will help me with my interview (If i get one) lol Thanks in advance mate.

Got an email today. I dont think its good news. What do you guys think?

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I am writing to update you on your application for the position of Apprentice Gas Installation Engineer for which you recently completed a successful telephone interview. We have now invited candidates who performed particularly well at telephone interview to assessment for this role. However, at present you are in our talent pool as we would potentially like to bring you forward to an assessment centre in the near future.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] We would like to keep your details on file and whilst we are unable to say if we will be bringing you forward to assessment centre at present time, we will be in a position to update you further by the end of May.

Chin up mate, I received a similar email but didn't even make it through to a telephone interview.
It's not a solid no you may get a chance in May you just do not know.
I am still on the look out for other apprenticeships if British Gas come through in May then great if they don't we just have to keep trying.

You'll need to be pretty damn hardened for that, the pays high for a reason as a qualified engineers.

sod doing it for an apprenticeship.

Hang in there and offer free trials to local companies

Great news guys got a wee phone call today and got invited to the assessment centre next week! Cant believe it :O

 

[cobey321]

Went to the assessment centre the other day, I think i done Good but now im doubting myself, I hate this wait!

 

[Ermintrude]

Nothing quite like the did I didn't I jitters

 

[cobey321]

exactly mate, I hate this wait 🙁 The interviewer did seem pretty interested, she asked me additional questions to my answers, Also after everything was finished and i was on my way home i got a phone call, they forgot to do a colour blind test on me so called me to ask me to go back and complete it, Im thinking this is a good sign because if i did do **** they wouldnt have botherd calling back, what do you think lolol?

 

[Ermintrude]

Possibly. But to avoid disappointment take a rocket man approach. U failed the world hates u and then when u get the offer it's sooooo much better

 

[cobey321]

lol cheers mate, im in work at the moment with my hands free kit in incase my phone goes, I hate this waiting feeling!!!
