A couple of days after my last post, Yummy Jobs clarified to all of the people in the same boat as me that we're not actually waitlisted - since they're recruiting for the whole of 2012, they simply don't know all of the dates that they'll need people to go out there yet. They've only assigned 40-50% of the places for the year at the moment, so there's still plenty of dates that we could be assigned. Which is excellent news!
Even better news (although maybe notsomuch for those who were hoping to apply in the summer round of applications) is that the next round of applications don't open until January next year. With only 40-50% of the places for 2012 assigned, and no new applicants being taken on until next year, it means that all of us in not-quite-waitlist-limbo stand a damn good chance of being given a start date for sometime in 2012.
With all my finishing university and moving from Brighton and moving to Southampton and looking for a job, I've got plenty going on at the moment to take my mind off things. Let's hope it continues that way and August will be upon me before I know it!
Hey Emma.... not sure if you will see this post as this is pretty old now... but I am a fellow Emma on the waitlist this time around and all your 2011 posts are literally my life! I have been on the waitlist 9 weeks already and hoping we will hear something in August as there are like 30 of us waiting I swear, its a killer! I hope you had a great time when you finally got there :)
