Nice one pal. Hoping the managers' interview is less intense and I can get my personality across!

Very pleased to be past the dreaded SI!

I just passed my assesment a few days ago and I'm awaiting a date for my structured interview, couple of weeks I've been told. Just going to start preparing as much as possible, preperation seemed to get me through the assesment!

What is the fault finding test like? Is it the horrible one with the traffic lights and X Y Z or is it the dials priority for checking?

Its reading gauges, dials etc, cross checking information then selecting the results from the given data.

Its a bit hard to explain without diagrams. However if you get invited to the tests you will get an example booklet which I found very clear and will show you exactly what is expected.

I see, thanks! How did you find the structured interview? Seems to be one of the most difficult parts from what I can tell!

Interviewed Friday lunchtime and found out the following Thursday afternoon.

Ah not too long. Got used to hearing how i've done on the days but I suppose waiting is better so I don't end up having a really depressing journey home! eek.

I suggest its worth a phone call....it seems the Trainee Train driver jobs are on WA, and the Trainee Depot Driver Jobs are on GEML....so where were you applying for?

Good to have a date though....my husband is still waiting for his Driver Manager Interview Date :( We had hoped it would be before Christmas but doesn't look likely

My friend you have passed the assessment process so if you do happen to fail the driver managers interview, if you apply for another trainee drivers job you dont have to go through the assessments again. You will be put on a national database to say you have passed. Congrats!!

No afternoon. She was running about an hour and a half late. Trying to do some preperation for the next interview but seems to be very mixed questions from what people have written. Some saying its criteria based again others saying its a more informal chat! :-?
