Well in Australia now, Bakers Delight is recruting 500 Bakers Apprentices for its accredited Apprenticeship.
Therefore, I went for it; since I like bread and I have not found a job yet.
.
A few weeks later after I applied, I got a phone call just to comfirm my details and why I wanted the apprenticeship.
.
Then I recived an email saying:
.
Still want an apprenticeship with Bakers Delight?!

Dear Bakers Delight,
Im sorry for bothering you; however, it has been almost 2 months since I have had any contact about the Bakers Delight Apprenticeship. I would like to know as soon as possible if I am a suitable applicant for the apprenticeship due to the fact that I am still a job seeker as required by Centerlink to search for 10 jobs a week for the next 6months. As well as the application for TAFE SA SEMESTER 2 will be opening this month on the 20th. I honestly do want the bakers apprenticeship. Please notify me as soon as possible so I can plan my future path.
Kind Regards, yakO

Dear yakO
Thank you for your email and I apologise for any distress or anxiety caused by our delay with this process.
There are currently no vacancies in SA bakeries.
At this stage, I would recommend that you print out copies of your resume and go visit as many bakeries (you prefer to work for) as possible. Speak to the Manager on duty and explain to him / her why you are keen on joining the apprenticeship program.
Some bakeries may look into hiring more apprentices after Easter or during mid-year, and that is why I have suggested visiting as many local bakeries so that they keep you in mind for future opportunities.
Best of luck!

What the fuck? Does it really take 2 months so reply, I'm sorry there are no places for you?
In that email he sent feel like he is telling me to 'beg other bakeries and tell them that I really want the apprenticeship very badly'.
Overall its bloody rude for not notifying me first that there are no places available!

Boycott Bakers Delight!!!!!!!!!
