Hi
My name is Carl McCrystal, i recently registered with you via an Equity offer for your free workshops, Get Noticed and You’re Hired, taking place in London on 14th, 28th September. Could you let me know whether i have been placed on the workshops, so i can book time from my alternative employment.
I think that i have filled in the request form correctly, but i may have missed something.
Thank you for your patience.
Yours sincerely
Carl McCrystal.
Hi Carl,
As the workshops have been over-subscribed to date, successful applicants are chosen randomly after the cut-off date for application and are informed by email the day after the closing date.
So if you have applied and have not heard from us, you can assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
However, we are providing new workshops regularly so please keep checking back to see if there are any other workshops you’d like to attend.
