I must say what surprises me at the moment reading this thread and in my experience, is the difference in what people both writing and telephoning regarding recruitment are being told. I myself called the BACE recruitment line to be told that they where not recruiting, interviewing or even sending out application forms at present. The latter i knew to be an untruth because my girlfriend (who lives at the same address) called the recruitment line one week before me and received an application form a couple days later. Now i wasn't about to reveal this to the young chap on the telephone and cast an embarrassing silence on the conversation, but i did wonder what the game plan was.
