Hi and thanks , if your referring to the tests at assessment, I have listed them as best i can remember above. If you want more detailed info about the individual tests themselves, search this forum or do a google search - there is loads of stuff already out there to view. Good luck with your...

That's an excellent result for you too, the assessments are the hardest part ( I think so anyway ) your story sounds very similar to mine ! I found the managers interviews ok, I'm quite good in interviews but was nervous none the less, just make sure you use real life experiences and do lots of...

The Southeastern interview was fairly quick, about 50 mins. The one I had with southern was 90 mins but to be fair I can rabbit on at times ! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Thank you I can't emphasise enough the importance of practice, make good use of the practice...

Dm interview with Southeastern did have 3 or 4 competency questions , "when have you gone the extra mile to give customer service " , " can you tell me when you have dealt with an emergency situation " etc

My experience has been quite different it would seem, having had unsuccessful applications and assessments over the last 4...

not sure if that question was for me, but I'm a self employed coach operator

Hi all, I only joined this forum today and after having a good read have realised how lucky I am. I've been applying for trainee drivers jobs for about 4 years, in the last 2 weeks Ive been to 2 dm interviews, have been offered a job by Southern and am waiting to hear if i was successful by...

Do I detect that you work for southeastern already ? I applied for Grove Park in Aug 14 , had assessment in Dec 14 and went for final dm interview at Orpington yesterday.

Hi, I have some info that may help you. I first applied to Southeastern in Aug 2014, had an assessment ( passed ) in early December. didn't hear anything until a couple of weeks ago and had my dm interview yesterday at Orpington station. Just have to wait a few days now to find out if i was...

Aircraft have red anti collision lights on the left wing and green ones on the right so YES a pilot is relied upon to be able to tell the difference !
