London Midland Trainee Senior Conductor Recruitment

[Moomoochachi]

Hi All,

This is my very first post, therefore apologies for any unknown forum etiquette.

I applied for the London Midland Trainee Senior Conductor post late last year and have passed their tests, the manager interview and completed and recieved a signed off medical certificate.

I was wondering if anyone has since recieved an offer letter to date, as I am told that the intensive training is due to start on the 8th April 2013?

Many thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum! So to all intents and purposes, it looks like you've been successful!

Do you work elsewhere at the moment? Have you received any kind of offer? Verbal or written? If you haven't, I'd suggest you contact their HR department explaining you understand you've passed all tests and need to know whether or not you should be handing in your resignation at work, since you're obliged to give x weeks' notice period.

Not sure if this helps...

Well this is what I had thought, but didn't want to assume anything, as I was sure that I had read somewhere, that even after passing all of these stages, applicants had still been unsucessful.

I don't currently work within the industry and I have receieved a letter of intent prior to completing the medical.

Perhaps I should call. I didn't want to seem impatient, but as you note I am required to give my current employer a certain period of notice and the timescale is leaving it very slim at present.

When you say letter of intent, what did it say?

Ahhh well done! How did you hear back? Phone/ letter/ e-mail? And was this after the medical that you heard back about your appointment? What station are you being assigned too?

Ah cool. Sounds like you completed all of your tests/ interview earlier than me. I did the interview end of January and medical about 2 weeks ago now. How long after the medical did you hear back?

Good luck for the training, should be exciting!
