Not sure that this helps you but my EOI was selected on 12 December. The published standard for the London Office (for those with job offer) is 10 working days to get back to you re: ITA, although this isn't guaranteed. Yesterday was 14 working days excluding the bank holidays and weekends and I've heard nothing apart from the confirmation of the EOI selection.

So I think when they say Christmas Holidays they use this loosely to describe the period from Christmas eve to the first working Monday in the New Year. Still, poor form to tell you "before Christmas" and then not deliver on that.

Hi Engineer,

How you manage to get job offer? Please share, if possible.

All the best to you.

And today is the first working Monday - and my ITA has arrived - yay! Just wish NZQA would get a wiggle on now
