What's it(s) mean?

I asked AQA: "What's the average length of time for which UK jobs at AQA are advertised on the website? i.e. How long does it take for all/any positions to be filled? Thanks!"

AQA replied: "There's no average length of time, it just depends on the number of vacancies and the response. AQA advises applying immediately when they're advertised."

Now, call me a pedant, but I don't believe it's technically true that there's "no average length of time". I can entirely believe that they don't set a maximum or minimum length of time, and/or that they just don't want to tell me, but that's an entirely different kettle of question marks.

Well, I can send you a text or email next time I see the ad if you like. Not knowing who would be interested and who wouldn't, it's difficult to know what to do more than just post it up. (You might have noticed I addressed the previous post to one specific user on my friends list, as I'd been discussing it with her elsewhere.)

If you did happen to see vacancies going & let me know I'd almost certainly be interested, but I'm really not expecting you to do my job-hunting for me, & it was good of you to post it at all! It was just a shame that by the time I got there "the cupboard was bare"...
