I've got applications in with a few different companies / public services at the moment and they all seem to be following same trend. It's like they go through the whole recruitment process so they've always got people available and ready to go when a place comes up instead of waiting until they...

You'd think they would be a bit quicker at giving outcomes if it was just down to test scores. I imagine some people will get 100% on both of them though so it's a tough competition! I don't think my verbal reasoning one went particularly well.

I'm putting 2 and 2 together and possibly making 7 but are you a 999 call handler? Have you considered applying to be a Police Radio Operator instead? Their role is more similar to a Signaller and would make the application form a lot easier to fill out with quality experience in future. You...

Agreed. I already work shifts and love it. The shifts wouldn't effect my decision. I'm just wondering what they're likely to be.

Purely out of interest, do you know why they have a preference for longer blocks? We haven't changed our shift patterns at work for a few years now and I think some people would be interested in trialling alternative systems. I proposed 7 days on/off as that would give a weekend every set of...

Perfect! I had a feeling they'd work shorter shifts and more days per week. Do you know what pattern they work by any chance? I do 4 on 4 off alternating between days and nights at the moment and love it.

There was me getting a bit impatient at being left on "test complete" since the 1st of May... I know there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of us applying but it would be nice to get a bit of a timeline for each step. I'd hate to miss out on an opportunity because I was late reacting to...

I always assumed Flat Earthers were just trying to generate an interesting discussion by playing Devil's Advocate. It sounds like it's working. I keep hearing about them everywhere recently.

I've got nothing to add but wanted to say congratulations! Must be a relief to have a start date!

It sounds like we're in the same boat. Fingers crossed they'll at least get some of us external applicants in for an interview. I was surprised with the SHL tests. I had a couple of goes at the practice tests and they were difficult. Almost on a level with Air Traffic Control tests I've taken...

Thank you very much for the advice guys. I'll admit I'm struggling with this application. My lack of job hunting experience is letting me down a bit I think. I'm going to try to give one specific example for each experience point. My CV will hopefully cover my more general experience.

Hi guys, First off, I apologise if this is the wrong section! I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers on the signaller application form. I have a CV ready to go and my work history filled out already. I now have to answer a list of yes/no questions regarding my experience and go into...
