I applied a few weeks ago, didn't hear anything, so I contacted HR. They said they have had problems and not been reviving applications- I'm assuming that's why it was open for so long. They sent me a link to complete the application again, however that went to my junk. I saw it the day before...
Just wanted to add my experience so far.
Applied in early April, 2 weeks later got an invite to AC1. Sitting AC1 in a weeks time, I'll let you know the outcome. From what I gather they are similar tests to that of a train driver which I sat a while back.
Thanks to everyone in this forum for...
I know they are, but both new when you are a new candidate. I dont see it as terrible advice, nor cheating. I'm sure I wouldn't be considered for a position, if that were the case. I take it you are already a driver for AGA?
Please don't comment, if its just to be rude! If you really want the job, you'll apply to as many vacancies possible (within reason- location etc). Theres no point in missing an opp. If you want to go driving, you will surely happily apply for both depot & mainline. I did!! And was sent for...
Maybe thats said to reduce the volume of apps. Those that are serious about relocating will try their luck.I live about 3hrs from the depot I applied for.
I've applied & I live nowhere near the depot but my app has been progressed to next stage. I also met someone with the ame circumstances- willing to relocate.
For those interested. If you want to be considered for mord than onw position, just use a different email address. Also I'm told that a course is dur to start in April.
I did the assessments before xmas with a FOC. Split in 2 stages. The telephone interview is similar to the MMI, the MMI was more intense. DMI was more informal.
I was asked all those, plus a couple bout the company & role of the driver. But also a couple which I feel where slightly inappropriate. I mentioned it to a few guys at work, who also agree.
The interview was the only downside to the whole process, so I wasn't surprised with the outcome...
I knew as soon as the manager saw me, I wasn't going to get the job. He underestimated what he saw of me & made up his mind. This was reflected by some of the questions he asked me. Plus he seemed to be very anti the job I already do. Also he didn't seem to gel well with the HR member.
We are aware of an issue with emails from the Forum to Microsoft-based email accounts (hotmail/outlook/live.com email addresses). This is being looked into currently, thanks for your patience meanwhile.
