Not long finished my DMI. I feel it went okay, but I’m not overly confident. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

I think you guys done alright. It would be very harsh to have come this far passing the tests to the highest* standard in the country, just to get told "you're not good enough" for an average interview.
I dont think Avanti have the luxury of being too fussy, due to their own demand of standard they set.

That’s what’s giving me hope. I do feel I could have done better but we’ll have to see. It’s hard with the pressure of the occasion having put so much effort into it

I'm aware of several colleagues who have failed the DMI in recent months, I wouldn't personally belittle this interview. It is a serious interview where managers assess the person and whether they feel they have the skills for their team and the company.

I've got mine on Friday. A tad nervous. Like everyone has said, getting this far at such a high standard. Don't want to mess it up now. Good luck to everyone today

Yes mate. That's it. Hammering the research and hoping I can get it all across. Where have you applied for? Good luck

Not yet mate, when did you do your CBI?

Anyone else on here waiting for DMI for Liverpool?
I'm waiting to be contacted for DMI.

I know people who have had theirs. It's going in date order from your driver tests / CBI. As the others sat the tests before me.

The second week of January had mine, looks like Liverpool seem to be one of the last depots to be getting sorted so shouldn’t be anything to worry about

I'm guessing Avanti won't know of any other potential recruitment this year until they have concluded the current, and this February drive?
I failed at the CBI stage this time around so this February recruitment would be a few months too soon for me

How did people find their DMIs today? That’s the last of them for now before we find out if we’re through or not isn’t it?

Avanti are unlikely to hold any further recruitment campaigns this year.

Good stuff mate. I felt positive to begin with but after reflecting for a few days I’m not so confident I’ll get the good news now. Disappointing after putting so much effort in

Keep positive mate. You never know. If you have put the effort in then that's what matters.

Good luck mate. Hope you get the result your hoping for. I'm keeping my fingers crossed now

Cheers mate, I’m still going to be hopeful. I just remember saying something that doesn’t sound great looking back. But I guess we’ll see

Ominously quiet in here. Has anyone heard back from their DMI? Or anyone who is still waiting for theirs heard anything as of yet?
