Hi all,
Just to clarify what I meant on the previous mail..
I think the HR works in a way as to make sure the shortlisted ones for the intake are certain they can make it for the course before they send out the contract. They don't want to have cases where they send out to those who are uncertain whether they can make the date.
I know it does not make sense that they only send out the contract at the end yet most of us here needs at least a month to notify the company. But this is how they work. Anyway, if you can't be released in time for the nov course, then you just got to let them know and seek for alternative arrangement. Simple as that.
