Worth noting that if you apply for this you must be able to meet their timeline, including a start date in late August

Do they allow people willing to relocate?

 

[Teddyward]

You can try but when you do the app it says the first part will be computer sifted so I’m guessing postcode will be part of that. There is no box to choose for relocation.
I’m hoping 2 miles from tilbury will help

The advert says you must presently live within 60 minutes of the depots

Well, that has to be the quickest application I've ever completed! So much less info required than other jobs I've applied for.

I'm a 45 min drive on a clear run, which won't be that often as I'm south of the Dartford Crossing.

 

[Teddyward]

Just passed a 66 stabled at Dagenham dock and it reminded me of this thread. Wonder if anyone has heard yet as the turnaround was indicated to be quick on the advert.

 

[Ghostgeeza]

Has anyone heard anything back yet?

It could take a while to go through the first sifting.

The application form is still online in an obscure place. I just had a quick look there isn’t a box for NI number on it.

Do you mind me asking who actually e-miled you was it the company or a specific person?

Mine was a specific person who works for the company.

Same here. I emailed them again this morning to confirm they had received the email. Would hate to be dropped due to an email that didn't send or didn't get noticed haha

 

[Gorlash1886]

Would I be correct in assuming you guys have already previously passed the psychometric testing?

No. I haven't.

 

[sherman216]

Did you get a response to say they had received it?

 

[Jobi-wan]

Did you get a response to say they had received it?

Yes I did, within a couple of minutes. They seem to be more efficient than GA's recruitment team!

 

[sherman216]

Any thoughts on what the next step might be?

 

[Joliver]

Would I be correct in assuming you guys have already previously passed the psychometric testing?

I have. I'm a bit worried now though as I didn't get a confirmation reply. Not that I asked for one mind.

Dont worry, I'm sure they got it. I was just being overly cautious.
