Be careful with the 6 month rule
Hi guys,
My friend attended the OD in Melbourne last Saturday. One of the recruiters (Louise) was explaining how you cannot be there if you attended an OD in the last six months. When asked if anyone had been to an OD in the last six months, no one put their hand up, then she commented "That's interesting, because I see some familiar faces in the room, because I do all the Australian recruitment." Then just before they played the first video, around 6 people stood up and left.
So my advice: if you're going to an OD without waiting six months, hopefully you don't get the same recruiter, because some of them have a good memory. Of course you can still get through without waiting, I've heard of many who didn't wait, but luck plays a part...
It would be interesting if the recruiters just say that at the beginning of every OD to scare those particular candidates. In this case, it worked!
