Can somebody please clarify how the recruitment process works please. I have passed the application and pre-screening question stage. I've also passed the online situational judgement tests and now have an interview date which I'm really pleased about. However, the job description stated that...

Congratulations. Sounds like you're almost there! My application status is still showing as: Application under consideration for assessment 2 (and has been for a few weeks). Hoping it will change to Invitation pending. Not sure how normal it is to wait for so long but I guess for as long...

This thread has been really helpful. Thanks to all the contributors and congratulations those that are passing the various stages of the process. How long typically are people having to wait following notification of passing the online assessments? This is the stage I am at currently, but I am...

Good to Have fingers in pies! I'm sure they'll look at the overall picture and your score will just be a small pert of that. Good luck... I'll hopefully hear back soon too

Well done for passing! How long did it take to hear back? I took the online assessments yesterday...

Phew, This has made me feel a lot better... The example tests are very tricky. Especially the verbal reasoning ones. Congratulations on passing! What are the 'complete instrument' questions like. If they are similar to the mechanical comprehension type tests it shouldn't be a problem...

Best of luck Gossy! Enjoy :)

Many thanks SE. I certainly will ??????

It is an Orpington interview for an Orpington posting. I think I'm just lucky where I live as I can get into London quickly at any time by train but I can also jump on the M25 and be in Orpington in half an hour or so by car or motorbike. I believe you need to live within a certain amount of...

Many thanks SEDriver, I did stress the fact to hr that I was flexible with which depot I could work from. I'm a 30 min train journey to Victoria but can drive to Orpington in around the same time so it makes no difference to me. I'm just grateful for the opportunity... Have you heard any...

I imagine it has a lot to do with the depot you applied for? The interview is at Orpington but I applied for London depots... It doesn't really go into much detail other than it will last around an hour and directions on how to get there... Like you I have been checking my email regularly in...
