Northern Rail- Wigan and man

[david898]

Nope anygood?

 

[302PS]

Not entirely

 

[david898]

Seen it now meh.....

 

[302PS]

Remember after the last time she sent a friendly email line this out Red18 got the call the day after! Lol
(arse and elbow come to mind)

 

[MadeinWigan]

The excitement stage is over for me. If I get an offer before autumn I'll be very happy. I'm just investigating other options so I'm prepared should a job offer not materialise.

 

[david898]

I can understand the email though they have had a lot of applications for various vacancies and bet they are being drowned in a mass of emails and calls, whilst also looking after current staff. Is still annoying but guess what will be will be! Guy from my current work is moving to northern and said his hr stuff was slow and painful at times, for now I will wait day dreaming as I see northern trains passed by the yard :/

Yep had an email today. First of a few I'm thinking, only been a few weeks. If they phoned me today and said I can start in January, I'd be happy but its just the unknown that worries me.

 

[302PS]

It's the not knowing is right, not knowing if you can give your family a holiday or should you be looking for a different career, it's an unsavoury way to treat human beings with ambition

Off to Vegas end of month! Little break needed!

 

[302PS]

Vegas hey! You go girl
Doesn't appear anything to rush back for :/

Just wondering did anyone apply for the trainee driver at manchester and is still waiting to hear? I've received the email informing I've pass the assessment stage and that they are currently reviewing the requirements for Drivers in Manchester but haven't heard anything since and it's been a few months. Didn't know if I was the only one not heard anything. Thanks

 

[302PS]

Have you done stage 1 and 2?
Its starting to look like they may have over estimated what they need

 

[Happy18]

Yeah did them in jan and got the confirmation email I passed at the start of feb but having looked on here seems people have received a email recently, although from what has been said the email doesn't say much and I haven't received anything at all. I applied a few years ago and never got past the application stage however it took 10 months to inform me so hoping I haven't been forgotten about again

 

[302PS]

Be worth giving them a bell fella

 

[Happy18]

Thanks thats what I was debating whether to, however cautious in case it's not good news. Does anyone have a phone number for them? Thanks

 

[gholi06]

Yep we're all on hold at the moment. It's just a matter of patience and wait for a training session. Best thing ro do is keep your phone charged and your mind occupied with other things. You e passed the assessments so it can only be a matter of time.

Thanks, so I thought I'd share I've just contacted them and they asked if I had received the mail from last week which I haven't. They confirmed I'm still on hold in the talent pool and will be considered for training in the future. Although it's a bummer waiting I'm so pleased that my application hasn't been forgotten about

 

[302PS]

Considered for training in the future, I hate that sentence they keep banding around lol

 

[johnsonr380]

As we enter a new week, I seriously hope it holds some exciting news for us. I'll take anything, I'll be made up if I'm om the next course but I'll take anyone getting on one as positive. Its been awfully quite with regards to northern on here the last few weeks. Hopefully this week is our week !

 

[302PS]

Have finally been managing to put it out my mind.......ish
But I agree, with conductors getting news last week, maybe it's our go

My prediction is within next 2 weeks people will be informed of being on a June course.

But yes it's been a long 4 weeks, I too have been putting it out of my mind. Only thing is when I do think about it I feel myself getting more frustrated. I can't think what I'd be like after 8 weeks.

Hi, i have got my Conductor Assessment on Thursday, i can see that alot of you have passed the assessment process, just wondering if you could give any tips? i have been going through all the practice material they send you but just seeing if there is any tips from people who have been successful.

Also i can see that you may be starting courses in June, if i am successful when do you think more courses would come up? i can see that numerous people on here have been waiting a long long time!

Practice over and over but don't burn yourself out. As for courses, could be weeks or months, just keep patient, best of luck.

Further to what hidden has said, you either have it or you don't. This is what these tests determine. Go in with a cool head and do your best. That's all you can ask of yourself.

Go through the practice material to give yourself a heads up on the content but don't go wild. A good nights sleep will be the greatest help of all.

I think a lot of the people on here are wondering the same thing... I initially applied on 27/11/2013 for Driver at Victoria. Passed all the assessments at the end of January. Still waiting patiently so who knows...

Another one out of the woodwork lol
