Phone the company and explain.

I had someone do the same thing last year, he called to explain and then submitted signed forms. It didn't count against him and he got the job.

Stringy · 3 Apr 2006 at 17:14

They'll probably just contact you at your given number or whatever and say something along the lines of "you didn't sign the forms", or you could phone them and say "I didn't sign the forms". It's not the end of the world. See, if I'd done that to the RAF I'd understanably be a little peed off, but a normal job they won't mind, they expect you to be human

Stinky · 3 Apr 2006 at 17:20

guess i'll do that tommorow then

kitten_caboodle · 3 Apr 2006 at 17:21

dont be so hard on yourself. Easy mistake to make when you're rushing. Just ring them, explain and apologise. Sure they'll be fine. I would be

Edit: Remember, it's not about the mistakes you make it's how you deal with them. You've unwittingly given yourself a chance to have a head start on all the others by showing how well you deal with things if you've fluffed up a bit! Do it

+ if you phone them, they'll hear your name a few more times, even better.. Thats the name of the game..

Stellios · 3 Apr 2006 at 17:25

Its an easy thing to forget when your busy mate, give them a ring and how they take it is up to them.

Sorry but you have failed at life. Please leave through the green door on your left.

Hodders · 3 Apr 2006 at 18:29

If you get an interview - I suggest you don't try to tell them that time management and attention to detail are your strong points

Stinky · 4 Apr 2006 at 21:26

well good news.

i got a call this evening, the bossman was very interested and impressed by my application and would like to see me for a 'Formal' Interview this saturday morning

result.

So what should i wear.

Black Suit - Black Shirt - Black and silver tie and black shoes

Black Suit - Pink Shirt - Black and silver or Black tie and black shoes??

also got any interview techniques?

Conanius · 4 Apr 2006 at 21:34

jeans and a t-shirt should be fine....

...

depends exactly what you've applied to do, I just went for shirt, tie, trousers and smart shoes,

as for interview techniques, ignore anything other than 'be yourself' 99% of interviewers hate doing it, and just want someone human to join their team...

Phog · 4 Apr 2006 at 21:54

I'll have to agree with dark suit, light shirt and bold tie!

Nozzer · 4 Apr 2006 at 21:55

White shirts look cheap and thoughtless, in my opinion. Pastel colours.

White shirts go well with a good quality suit and the right tie.

nealw · 4 Apr 2006 at 22:08

definately not a black shirt

nobody can wear a black shirt with a suit and not look like a chav going into court
