Has anyone who applied for Reading this year heard back after video interview?

Has anyone been asked to show physical GCSE certificates? I've heard this is now a requirement with all TOCs.

I've heard good things too. What job did you go on to do? Many say it's not an easy job to move on from. 1627684577 Sounds like you've got a good thing going on there

Thats good to know. How many hours a week do you do? what is it you enjoy in particular? 1627682955 I think i'd enjoy it. If only the money was better!

Started off with driver. Made it all the way through DMI but fell on one question at MMI. Since I've applied for guard, Rail operator, station ambassador, shunter and trainee driver again. Passed the interview for a few of those, but as I say, never got the offer. Always a "close second"

Yes, I've been applying for years. Passed a few interviews, but never got the offer. There are mixed opinions on whether experiance with buses can help a rail application though. Any thoughts?

Thanks, good advice Thanks, good advice. I passed a DMI, fell short at MMI. Accepted back in for another trainee driver process with just DMI and MMI to do. That was exactly a year ago, covid has slowed things down and my original assements will expire in July this year so not enough time to...

Congratulations! What TOC?

Maybe? I passed DMI, rail operator. Close, but not close enough! I know how you feel. Do you get any useful feedback? What job are you doing now?

1610889885 Good to see you finally cracked it. I guess those that finally walk away just didn't want it enough. Good to read it worked out well for you

Great! What job did you get?

Good for you. I just got pipped at the post for Rail Operator. I met the standards oh so hopefully next time and I can follow the same path you did. Well done
