Still no word on J! online tests yet

#1 Post by Kazoo65 » Mon Jan 05, 2015 2:44 pm

I just checked the J! bored and their website and still no word about online tests.

Maybe they aren't having a big national test this year and are doing separate tests for each city they plan to visit-like they did for Denver last month. This might take longer but it wouldn't put a huge strain on the computer network.

If they decided to audition in Detroit, would someone who lives on the west side of the state be eligible to take the test? I doubt I'd be eligible if they used this method for Chicago.

No reason why they wouldn't take you in any audition city if you were willing to travel there and could get past whatever method they use to choose the auditioners. Might even be a plus that you were willing to put in that much effort.

'Course you'd still have to pass their audition exam ...

My guess is that the recent hack has put everything off for a while.

Getting a dread feeling that it'll be during the upcoming audit with major business implications for my company.

Since the Teachers' Tournament is now finished, I am hoping they put the registration info up on the website in the next couple weeks. I think that if they are planning tests in April. they will need to start the registration process very soon.

I did NOT get a call for an audition in Detroit next month- I was hoping they would go there again since they are scheduled to be in Chicago. Just hop on I 94 and go east!
