agh right, i might be able to help my pal out then. he is away atm but said he has he doesnt want to use his old em to sort his references etc when he gets back, but employer which was a factory which he dropped at the last min without giving notice to work on the railway where he is now. so a...

My colleague review an email from them this morning; having emailed them on tge weekend. They replied saying they ate still awaiting feedback from the interviewing manager

No he still hasn't heard anything however he has heard rumblings that at each of the depots there where internal staff who have also applied for the roles eg catering and revenue protection, and these ones have been successful. I must stress that this is only whispers he has heard so please...
