Job Applications

Anyone had any odd questions to answer when applying for jobs?
I’ve just applied online to a plant hire company, and when it asks for dates (start/finish employment etc), you have to click back through a calendar rather than typing the date. No click and hold, you must click and release. I had to go back to February '99!

The rest of this post was discriminatory and offensive, so it was removed. dd.

Application form for local pallet firm was six pages long!

What I can’t understand is this - folks from say " over the water" , how does this work? How can anybody check for law breaking or a bad driving record or don’t some employers be as strict as this?

Always been a mystified on this one!

Some ask for Service numbers now if you have been in the forces! :open_mouth:

The application form for our place is 4 pages long plus a 6 page medical declaration form…that’s just to get an interview!! :open_mouth:
