Interview cancellation
Just had a rather disappointing email from HR to let me know they have cancelled my interview (in 5 days) due to 'unforeseen circumstances'.
I'm a little annoyed at the lack of notice having taken time off work to study, arrange visits etc.
Is this a fairly normal occurence or have I just been unlucky??

Don't know the answer but if it was me I'd phone em up and find out why and explain about my situation. Most of these people have no idea how these kind of decisions effect others.

Unlucky mate. The same happened to me in June 03 and I had to wait until Jan 04. I hope the same wont happen to you, but I got told about 3 different months the interviews would be held, but no specific dates. Its easy for me to say now, but the time will soon come round, just gives you more chance to get better prepared, just dont let it get you down to much, and keep researching ATC

Thanks for the replies people.
I noticed this sort of topic in quite a few previous threads and feel less persecuted!
Going to get on with it and use the extra time for more learning.
Onwards and upwards...

Interview
Well take heart. I had an interview just before Christmas and heard nothing. I phoned up and they said I was top of their list and would come back to me. Four weeks later I still had heard nothing and then found out the bean counters had closed the entire department in the meantime!

5 Days is a luxury (spelling??)
I was given a days notice and then heard nothing from HR dept for about 8 months.
My advice is that if you haven't heard something in two weeks phone and if it goes another two weeks phone again!!
If your current employer will allow it try and be flexible as you may not get that much notice about interview, medical and even course starting.
I got 3 weeks notice about my interview (which was during exams!!), 10days notice for the medical and only about 4-5 weeks for the start of the course.
This sounds like a lot of time but i assure you it ain't!
sorry for the winge - its worth it when you get in - just be prepared for a lot of hard graft and long hours studying!!
