Those jobs i applied for ...
I got an e-mail response.
Check it out:
------
Dear Sir/Madam
I can confirm that we have now received your application form. However, to
ensure the best use of Glasgow City Council resources, only applicant's
shortleeted for interview will be notified. If you do not hear within 8 weeks of
the closing date, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this
occasion.
Kind Regards
Land Services Personnel

Re: Those jobs i applied for ...
a) They always have a general response to these sorts of things. My work is a relatively crappy unknown Housing Association and for a recent admin position (dull job, crap pay) they had close to a hundred applicants. Would you want to personally respond to every freakin' retard who applies?
b) They say 8 weeks so you NEVER phone them. Plus, as someone has noted, they are the council and are probably crap.

It wasn't their stupidity i was worried about it was mine (in case the attachment process ****ed up or something and instead of sending in a fully filled out form i sent in a blank one etc).

The jobs i applied for are pretty much at the bottom of the "ladder" (as such i don't see how they could have someone already working for them who wants these jobs because they are in a lower job than the ones advertised).

No, it means **** off for now, but we will keep you in mind in case the person we hired quits/fired/dies.
PS, tell the bitch shortleeted is not a word and give her a link to www.dictionary.com (If you want to burn your bridges)

Well seeing as how i put "Mr Peter Rankin" in my e-mail 'm guessing that they knew my gender but not caring about the poor impression they might create of Glasgow Council (ie they don't care about detail etc) just couldn't be arsed sending me an individual response.
