Yup Jan 2013 was the last time they did interviews.

They said to me they are interviewing This week Mon,Wed Next Week Mon,Wed,Thurs. So I wouldn't expect anyone to hear anything till at least the week after next.

the paper based part wasn't done last time round (at least at interview anyway), so your guess is as good as mine.

back of the net, interview for me also!!!!! now just need to not mess it up this time :-) Congrats CGS.

if they said leave it so many weeks leave it at least that, but don't leave itooooooo long, as i missed out progressing with FPTE due to an admin error, by the time I'd contacted them they had sent out job offers.......:-(

I totally agree, as previously mentioned, last time round the letters came out a good few weeks later then the ad said, due to number of applicants. So don't give up hope as yet. :D

You could just not read then?? This means a lot to some, hopefully everyone who applies. Additional stress is unnecessary as during the whole process especially during the tests it gets to people. The wait to see if you make the sift can be a long painful wait. But hey ho everyone is...

I was under the impression they normally do interviews then assessments at T&W Metro. Has it changed this time round?

It might be worth bearing in mind, last time they advertised they were late sending out the interview letters as it took longer to get through the applications then expected. That said if I haven't heard anything by the end of September I'll be ringing and checking. I lost an interview place...

yes, thats exactly how it works, unless you failed the tests before they changed last year, as everyone got their 2 lives back when the new tests where introduced. Remember though you can pass them 10000000000 times if needs be, but fail only twice.

From what i've read on here, DBS get you to sit some additional tests. Don't know what, maybe the mechanical comprehension or something like that. I'm sure someone will come along and correct me though.

just got my application receipt email today after 1.5-2 weeks, so they are getting through them. :-) My form was in word 2007 and i put Trainee driver\ Driver operator in the subject line for those wondering.

that's why I asked the question of Lee, seems us that sent it as a word doc haven't heard anything back.

Hi Lee did you save as a PDF or word? i've sent mine and had nothing back, that said, as my previous post said, last time i didn't hear anything back for 2 and a bit months.

just checking my emails, it took them from August 8th till October 20th last year to let me know i'd failed the sift.
