Hello everyone!

First post but followed this thread for a while!
I'm also waiting in the infamous "talent pool" having passed the assessments middle of March!
But I'm actually hoping for a course later rather than sooner due to other commitments!
I know someone who is starting on the June course from initially applying in November so I probably don't need to worry about a course just yet!

 

[david898]

Why hello there welcome to the club! I'm actually in same boat as you I would gladly start now but would like to start later as to save few pennies up!

 

[johnsonr380]

I just want to hear something. Just an email saying ..... This is what we're doing, this is why we're doing it and an estimated start date is looking like.....am I asking too much ?

Even if they said I have a place in 8 months, at least I'll know and can plan for the future !

Nearly 8 weeks now sheeeesh

 

[302PS]

Iv said it before, it's not a nice way to treat people

 

[TheOpener76]

A September course would be ideal for me but think that is a bit hopeful seeing as people who passed much earlier are still waiting!

 

[johnsonr380]

True, if it wasn't for the forum I would of had one, sit tight email.

Hope they get their skates on.....soon

Hi all, I'm another waiting in the talent pool for driver having passed assessments in March. Glad I've found this forum as otherwise I'd be totally in the dark!

Hi Bob,what happened with Metrolink?

 

[bobjob]

Didn't work out in the end cheers. Bad timing

 

[302PS]

When did you apply bob?

 

[bobjob]

Early 2012. Can't believe it's been that long. A sentence that may well be used again!

That is a long stretch How come you only sat the assessments in mar?

 

[bobjob]

I passed the assessments etc in early 2012 but was unable to take job at that time. Nothing to do with metrolink! Jeez that would be a crazy waiting time!
