The first intake is at the end of September for trainees.
I would imagine that those who have had medical already are successful and those that haven't aren't seems freightliner and db schenker operate the same way from past experience.
And I would imagine freightliner are hoping for...
I'm over it
The job I do now i don't have to impress anyone just do the job go home and I don't have to worry about bosses with other motives. Other staff back stabbing you points scoring.
So no I'm not.
But just proves the point about blacklists to not employ.
Beats working with...
Point is it shouldn't be allowed lots of good people don't get the jobs because minor issues in the past but must have been good to get the job in the first place.
Also why do train co bother testing people if they have no intention of interviewing you.
Waste of time and money springs to...

Applied over 2 years ago.
Guards tests last year had a mock interview no problems as I've done the job before.
I've had lots of practice and I know what their after I'm very chatty and approachable.

I have had fob off answers which you find hard to believe.

I got interviewed last time didn't get through.
Was told by someone I know that its jobs for the boys
So I don't think the if many jobs exist.
As their advertising for qualified again aswell.
Well it must be true how many sacked staff or staff that have rocked the boat have made it back on to the rails only one that I know of and he had to make a few sacrifices and he still isn't were he would want to be !
When a lot of the time it's down to personality clash with a manager or the...
Managers interview can be whatever they want its supposed to be all competency based but if they want to question you about your cv they will
Keen on travel distance to work aswell
My situation is different to most so mine is purely pot luck
Does anyone have any info on Swt trainee positions status been waiting a year and half and never had structured interview
It changes soon so if it wasn't or another toc I would have had to sit assessments again !
