    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Hi all, I don't post often but I have been lurking for almost 2 years. Finally, today I received a call from Mandy with a provisional offer of employment. I am to attend a medical on the 18th Feb and a start date in March. I understand from the conversation I had with Mandy that many...

    Freightliner trainee driver positions ('Graduate scheme')

    I know from personal experience that perseverance is the best attribute. I have been shortlisted twice for different TOC's and I have applied for probably 5 in total. I could have applied for more, but I have chosen to be selective. This is because in my experience, the good companies shine...

    Fact, Source: FLHH HR Apparently. those that have passed the tests already have been placed on a list. I am a little apprehensive about repeating what I was told, for fear of giving some the wrong idea. My advice would be to contact their HR directly if you are unsure about any aspect of...

    I suspect that ideal candidates with 100% pass rate on the application test are more likely to be called forward than ideal candidates that score lower. Similarly, I doubt getting 100% will help you if your application suggests you are unsuitable anyway.

    Recruitment Ongoing

    Thank you for your responses guys, I have actually gone through the entire process and made it to the end with a "High Standard" but let down by a lack of available spots. I was hoping to take this to either another TOC/FOC in the near future. I do however get the general impression that...

    Greetings, I have been lurking for a while, gaining information and reading what others have put. I have registered in order to ask a question regarding Trainee Train Driver recruitment. I am curious to find out if anyone knows if the TOC/FOC's have stopped recruiting for trainee train...
