I agree entirely - there should be more training for interviewers, ad the appeals process could be more transparent and certainly swifter. Best regards, Andrew Hi Kerry,

thank you for your comment.

My first big promotion was held up because an unsuccessful applicant appealed, and because of the backlog in the system it wasn't heard for six months. When the appellant was called, he said that he'd forgotten all about it and wasn't interested in the job by then. But, considering how important interviews can be in charting the course of an organisational unit, it's remarkable how little training people are given in conducting interviews.
