I'm pretty used to getting rejections to job applications by now but this has got to be the quickest rejection ever.

I applied online for a job with natinwide. I comleted the application last night at about 10pm and at 8am this morning received an email saying I hadn't been shortlisted.

The email also said I my application had been "carefully considered" :loopy:

nope sorry,
this (http://tinyurl.com/3glhds) is a record

Tbh you have had a lucky escape. I worked there as a temp for 2 months and it was possibly the worst job ever!!

Pretty insane turn around time considering that it was all done outside office hours! Grats on not working for Nationwide - think it'd be better not getting short listed than getting the job

Ive sent off an online application today, so I probably get a response in the morning. Whats the job and place like?

Is it for the 'contact centre' or the branch? If its the branch I hear they are very nice but I would personally avoid the call centre at all costs. It's in a good position above the branch in town but its very Big Brotherish - they listen in to and record all your calls then grade you on them, you have to dress up to work on a phone, the targets are unobtainable and no one stays very long - however that is just my opinion!! Good luck

It was for the contact centre but I didnt get short listed, probably a good thing

Do you think they even bother to read the applications?

It's possible that they use software to search for certain words/phrases in the application - it might not even have been read by a human being...
