    Trainee Driver - DB Cargo - Various locations.

    I applied for the trainee driver at Dollands Moor, never heard anything within the two weeks so sort of assume I have been unsuccessful. However I have passed all my assessments to enhanced level with a TOC last year including the MMI. Not sure whether to have a glimmer of hope that once all...

    what comes after application

    Ok, still sounds a bit confusing from West Mids side but usually what happens is your initial application is sifted. If successful you will be invited for a number of paper based and computer based assessments. In addition you will need to attend a couple of interviews, one compentency based...

    what comes after application

    You might need to be a bit more specific to get a better answer. Sitting in the talent pool implies you have passed all your assessments/interviews and are waiting on a start date but that could be anything from a few weeks to a few years. At the sift stage implies you have only just applied and...

    Passed train driver assessment :)))

    Yes the SJE is computer based, can't say I felt that my anwsers got reflected in the questions for the MMI though. The MMI is 6 questions. You will be given the questions before hand and asked to write a brief answer to each. This WILL form the basis of the questioning at the MMI (probably at...

    Passed train driver assessment :)))

    In your examples one of the same ie. the situational judgement questions are effectivily compentency based questions MMI would be 6 questions along the lines of say give me an example of when you found yourself in an emergency situation. Depending on how you answer this might be followed up...

    When to apply?

    Having gone through the entire process last year with GTR just a word of caution with your last sentance. Yes you will need to sell yourself with the Managers Interview but this is only one part. The testing part is key and nothing to do with personality just designed to measure suitability. I...

    Back in September I applied for 2 jobs with SE. 1 office based and the 2nd for a depot driver. Within a week I had been rejected for the office job but over 2 months later I am still waiting to hear on the depot driver (other than confirmation of application) I have passed all the tests this...

    The Tones Test on OPC

    AFAIR at least one of the exercises had 20+ tones. Not enough fingers! Also in part 2 as baz962 says you will be circling numbers/text whilst counting tones so still not enough fingers. I would say best advice as previous poster mentioned is to practise concentration techniques (like...

    Too old for GTR?

    I applied for GTR/1403 in March and passed the online assessments, 2 assessment days and the MMI over the following 4 months. I then had my DMI at the end of July. I had REALLY done my research on the TOC and compiled a potential list of 27 awkward questions and figured out and memorised the...

    GTR online assessment

    I have passed my MMI and tests and was told within a few days that I would only have the DMI to pass before a medical. I had my DMI at Blackfriars over a week ago. The interviewers gave the impression I would hear within a couple of days but nothing yet. I just wondered if anyone else has had...
