Out of interest, has anyone received a rejection email? Just trying to work out if they’ve done the initial sift as it seems myself and everyone else on here has been invited to the online tests.

I had back surgery so I had to turn down the job. So I’ve had to reapply for that role from the start.

I’m on hol until Monday so can’t until I’m back then! Do you know if they prioritise those who do it sooner? I’m hoping not ha

I would like to think they wouldn't. People like yourself shouldn't be penalised. If they give a deadline of 18th June, as long as it's done by then and it's passed then who cares when you did it in my opinion.

How did you find it?
I found the one quite tricky if I’m honest. Not sure it’s something you can practice for, just take your time and go steady
Did they not give you any practice questions before it started?

I suppose if everybody finds them particularly difficult all it does is lower the bar required for entry - or at least that's what I'm hoping!
What was the ‘assessment’ section about?

I've just recieved an email with the two assessments. Before I do them, any advice from anyone who has recently done them would be very much appreciated! Thanks.
Brush up on your spatial reasoning. 3D cubes. Google it.

Thank you! Much appreciated!
And can I just ask about the first one as well? The one that is just labelled 'Assessment'. Roughly what does that entail?

Standard personality test, mainly having to choose which statement out of 3 most defines your behaviour in the workplace, and that kind of thing. Spatial reasoning was horrific - though there a few I was quite confident on at least.

I spoke to Andy on Thursday. He said that the Sept course is for ‘Birmingham and North’, but it wasn’t confirmed exact numbers for which depots.
I’m in the talent pool for Bristol, so it’s a keep waiting for me.
