Hi Gossy

 

I applied for this poistion and attended an interview, unfortunately I wasn't succesful in my application but have to say I was really impressed with the College and it's facilities. The only thing I was disappointed in was that I was told I would recieve feedback to why I was unsuccesful but as yet non has been given. I have a feeling that I know where I went wrong but any additional information provided by potential employers may help me secure a poistion in the future. Whilst I was there all the candidates were well looked after with drinks and pastries and were made to feel welcome.

As most of the interview panel are on holiday this week, getting feedback back from them has taken a bit longer than usual I'm afraid! I've heard from them all now though so you should get a call back tomorrow. Thanks.
