Thanks ml, I honestly don't know, you have to keep stopping so they can write stuff down. Then you have to continue, then it's like have I said too much, have I said enough.
I guess they are ticking off set criteria as you go along.

Thanks :) Peterborough would be ideal, Rugby would be ok but to be honest I'd happily go anywhere

Hi people, I had my interview a couple of weeks ago, and today I received a letter inviting me to a medical. I haven't heard anything els so I'm left wondering if I pass my medical will I still be on a shortlist of potential candidates or do you think I'd of secured a position? Probs going to give them a ring Monday but I'm not sure weather to be excited or not lol

can't imagine they'd put you forward for a medical if they didn't see you as 1 of the people for the jobs!.....i'm sure you've nailed it ;)

I'm sure you did better than what you think buddy!...it's human nature to fear the worst I suppose lol!!

even after I was told I had the job I didn't believe it until I had signed the forms and was sat in the classroom :) lol

Hi everyone, I've just been back from stage 2 at watford, and just wondering if anyone had the young lad from stage one at crewe interview you and did you feel he was quite laid back and didn't seem to interrogate as much as you thought? Just worried as the other people who had the wonen seem to got a grilling! Didn't get cut off or asked for any other examples!

Congrats to everyone who has passed already!

Dmd don't panic mine sounds like it went like and I passed.
Its strange isn't it you just don't know how well you've done, just worried me as it was completely different to what everyone else has said! stayed calm throughout, was nervous at the start. Just the long wait now to find out. What stage you at now?
Regards Dean

I think it's a good sign that you were calm throughout. I found it very difficult to guage how id done and got tired of trying to second guess myself. I'm at the dm interview stage now.
