I also recently found out they conducted more interviews and some folks from those have been given class dates. I was frustrated until I found out there are still people in the pool that have been there almost a year. We were told at the interview they would be emptying the pool prior to more interviews but that didn't happen. I scored well on my written and felt it was the best I've ever done in an interview, not sure where I didn't score well... I don't mean to be negative here, I'm still excited for the opportunity for a class at some point but I think it's important people are aware this is how it works. It's unfortunate because it often puts a bit of a bad taste in peoples mouths before they ever show up for class. Hopefully this is something they'll consider changing in the future.
The scores are gone. Much simpler system, no stacking by score. The union has brought up the left behind poolies and there was an understanding. Don't be shy, give HR a call.
