    Still waiting everyone?? I emailed FGW today (had my managers interview on 30th August!) and got what I guess is a standard response of "we are still waiting to hear from our recruitment manager. As soon as we hear from them you will be contacted with the outcome". It is a VERY slow process.

    Did they give you any indication of how long it would be until they let you know? This waiting around is testing my patience to the maximum!! :cry:

    I would agree with those comments; after the structured interview I felt pretty beaten and still came through with a good pass, there's just certain criteria they need to tick in their boxes so hopefully you guys will have done enough, stay positive! Personally I think your assessment passes...

    How long to hear from FSR interview?

    In my experience this is the norm mate! I took my drivers assessment with FGW in Jan 2012 and didn't hear anything for 2 months then they told me i was not being invited to interview because no as many jobs available as first thought blah blah etc etc! Then after thinking i'd never hear from...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Just to throw my 2 pence into the conversation! I took my assessment in Jan this year with FGW (i passes all segments and structured interview and was told that on day) and was told I would hear from them within 2 weeks. It took me almost 2 months of phone calls and emails to get a response...

    Yes you can !

    If you are a part of the playstation generation I can't imagine it would bother you much. That is my advice really just work harder than the next applicant, thats all you can do. I would disagree there, I am firmly a part of the playstation (xbox actually!) generation and my reactions are...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Thanks for the advice, I can't see why they would make me do it again? After the assessment centre my status changed to "successfully completed full assessment" so hopefully it is my driver managers interview. I'm super nervous but have put so much work in to get to this stage that I'm...

    First Great Western Trainee drivers, Anyone heard back?

    Hi all, just signed up this is my first post. I have been invited to interview this Thursday for FGW. I took the assessment centre in January and passed first time but was told the number of jobs available was less than first anticipated and didn't get called for interview. I never...
