Basically I applied for a job the other week. It said send in your CV with a covering letter which I did.
The next day I got an email back thanking me for my application and saying that the next stage was to fill out their application form. I admit I took one look at this 5 page form (which didn't ask for any additional information that wasn't on my CV or in the covering letter) and thought 'No, I just don't have time for that at the moment' so wasn't going to bother filling it in.
2 days later ( 2 days before the closing date) I recieved a voicemail, text message and email saying that they were very interested in my CV but couldn't move forward with my application until I'd filled in the form. I thought it was a bit odd that they went through all of that and assumed that they must be interested like they said so did it.
It took me 2.5 hours and was so laborious. I got a reply confirming reciept.
Anyway, I've heard nothing, zilch. The interview's were being held on the 8th (next Wed) so I assume I would have heard by now if they wanted to interview me.
AIBU to feel a bit aggreved? That form took me ages to fill in, not to mention it got my hopes up a bit. There's nothing in the form that wasn't in my CV and covering letter so hardly like something in the form could've put them off, or id be very surprised!!!
Gah. Pointless rant.
