Even if there is only 1 vacancy, they could well be holding people in a talent pool. People pull out of these things for sorts of reasons.

Here's the full process copied from the original vacancy: About you You’re used to having a high level of responsibility and you think calmly and logically when dealing with unexpected situations. You enjoy working in structured environment to agreed rules and procedures. There’s a lot to...

Me too mate. I took the plunge and emailed them, they said they could see I'd passed both assessments but were waiting for further interview dates from the HR Manager. Then another email from HR telling me the same as you, they said they had been overwhelmed with applications, therefore were...

I would have thought so mate, I know Northern Rail do, perhaps FTPE just had far too many though. I'm sure I read somewhere, those that complete the online assessment go through to phone interview automatically. I'm going to give it a few more days and then send them a polite email, suppose if...

Thanks mate. I completed both assessments following the application form on 16th September, not heard anything since. I'm guessing I didn't get through.

Good luck all, anyone heard for Manc Picc?

Not heard bugger all here. :) Do FTPE get back to you either way?

Considering that within 4 hours of the OP putting this up on the forum, 710 people had looked at the thread........I would say, yes they received lots of apps. Not to mention other people who might have been looking on the off chance, internal apps and not to mention people subscribed to job...

Is it bad I am looking up the definition of "Completed successfully" to see if actually means "pass" or simply "completed"?

Hi, it's the telephone interview I believe. Not quite sure what's involved for that. I completed both assessments on 16th, not sure if I did so well on the Verify Checking Test. That was stressful!

I'd have to agree about some rail staff can be rude. I often wonder how they got the job in the first place. That said however, they are in a minority and in all honesty I've come across some great station and train staff on my travels. Don't give up mate, remember there are hundreds of people...

I passed the DSI test but have been unsuccessful at the sifting stage...bah. :) The good news is next time I apply I won't need to complete it.

Hi kolololoxxl, Just done the DSI test. It's more of a personal test so only you can answer the questions because they are about you. All I can say is some are fairly obvious, others are not. Don't think about them too much, just answer honestly. To be honest I'm glad just to get a little...

Hi insp gadget. No never completed a DSI test with Northern. This is the furthest I've got with any applications with them lol. :)

Same problem here! Thank the lord I thought it was just me. Did a google search and couldn't find anything like it before, then I thought I'd do a 'recent' search and found this forum.
