Did you get an email confirmation after you submitted it?

(I mean absolutely no offence when writing below)

But I am guessing there is not much difference between yours and TJ’s applications.

The only reason mine would stand out from either of you is the patrolling, pretty awesome voli experience when applying to voli at a winter games! Even though I didn’t say I would do any volunteering even remotely close to that!

Other than that one question there would be nothing else that would make the 3 of us any different!

Unless you put you down that you needed assistance getting there or something?

Ah well shit happens, doesnt bother me either way. But would be a killer experience!

Either that or make another account with a different email address. I’m sure there is some part of it that is random… they probably get way too many volunteers.

ahhhh i know where i f*cked it.

When it asked for availability i only put 10-16 days instead of the full 28 days.. fuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark, i have changed it now but prob have shot myself in the foot.

Hmmmm I wonder what I put. I think i went 10-16 days…

it says next to it they prefer people who can commit to the shole games i.e. 17 days or more.
you must have skills they need!

Ah - yeah i see that, I said 17 - 21 grin the minimum required!

Fingers crossed you will get an invite to testing quick smart now! I got an invite 3 days after finally submitting.
