But you know, this is awful, there are HUNDREDS in our situation and they shouldn't have treated people like this... were we naive ? During my interview the recruiter was so positive, saying that of course we would get jobs... aha !

Really really angry- I've been waiting for them to contact me since bloody November when I did the interview and got accepted into the talent pool! And now I phone up to be told there are no jobs left! It's ridiculous.

Quote from: "NaeBad"I've not actually received an email about a contract.  I was hoping that they'd be sending out more contracts by email today or tomorrow, possibly for restuarants?  Does this mean that all jobs are taken completely?  I have retail and bar experience and my French is reasonably good, I don't understand how they are selecting people for jobs?

I'm in the same position - retail experience, good French, decent Italian, and been in the pool since November - but I didn't get an email either. I just wonder how they've selected candidates, because if I apply again I'd love to be able to improve my application and stand a better chance. It's so disappointing.

Everyone who got the email on Friday, did you all say you were available throughout September?

To be honest I think they must have done it at random, I didnt say I was free throughout September but when I got the email was definatley willing to stay until September. Im on waiting list now but Im sure that thats basically a no

I got an email on Friday for work in the boutique and at my interview I said I could only work til the end of august and when I phoned she said there were no jobs to fit my dates so I'm not sure why they sent me a contract in the first place/why they didn't tell us at the interviews that we'd have to work til september 30th!

Fair enough! Well, congratulations to everyone for being offered something in the first place, and for everyone who didn't manage to get something - our time will come eventually, I'm sure!

Quote from: "adunne5"I got through after trying about 20 times. They said there was no boutique jobs left so I got offered a waitressing job at the Wild West restaurant! Did anybody else get offered that place? I leave next week, so soon!
This is a fun job! Waitressing and animating the crowd. All my friends did this and for the most part they loved it! Only evening work as well so good for morning lie ins.

Congrats! also very jealous! can I ask you though, when I got through earlier, they said they would email me but they seem to be doing it all by phone, should I ring back and give my phone number just in case?

good luck with your Paris audition. are u from the uk?

I'm from Israel...
It's really expensive to come to paris for the audition, but i'm going to do it anyway... it's my dream...
so i have just one shot and to be good. I can't afford another audition...
That's way i have to come prepared, and i would really appreciate any info about what's going on inside the audition? what are they looking for? is there anything i can do in order to prepare myself for the audition?
