Believe me, this late at night am not writting on the original! Am doing my 1st photocopy attempt and I was wondering how far in the box I can write. I know it sounds daft but I want to get it right. Do I only write on the dotted line or can I also write on the bottom hard line which also forms the outline of the box? Cheers

Hi guys... Just to check as i'm not completely sure of the way the process goes. At what stage do the references come into things? I mean, would they be the last thing that gets done before you get an offer? Or do they then need to do all the security & background checks? Would appreciate some help! Thanks.

At the risk of annoying everyone, this is my last question on the eye test issue! Thanks for all that have tried to help. I think, that I will reach the unaided vision , just about. My questions are: 1) Can I squint? It sounds a silly question, but after a visit to vision express, if I squint then I can get it. So, will they allow me to do this? 2) If I don't pass the eye test can I get laser eye surgery and do it again, or would I have to start the process all over again. I really don't want to pay all that money (I had a consultation and it will cost me £2000, if there is another option!) If ayone out there could offer their experiences or thoughts it would preve…

Hi Just want to know how lenient some forces are with convictions, I know some people who got refused with the smallest of offenses and some people you would think that never could with the offenses they got.

Hello, I've emailed Strathclyde recruitment about this and am awaiting a response (will call if I don't hear), but in the mean time I'm just wanting more opinions from people on here about the situation I'm in. Just over 13 Months ago (December 2008) I was charged for 'Licensing (Scotland) Act' for not checking the I.D of a customer the police had sent in to do a test purchase. I received a reduced fine of £150, down from £250 as I have no previous convictions and provided evidence to support good character and that I did check identification on a regular basis. Is this going to cause a serious problem when applying? I have mixed opinions on this, I do know that it'…
