    A "who you know" industry?

    I've recently got a job with network rail, I have no friends or relatives there. My friend however can't seem to get in and her dad's a train driver for gwr. So it's not always a case of who you know.

    When do you give up? Are equal opportunities really equal?

    I've been trying to get in for about 2 years now. I've had interviews with Cross country and First Great Western. I have been put on hold with FGW as a result. My problem has been lately any job that I'm really interested in keeps getting withdrawn and I find that more disheartening than...

    First Great Western Customer Host

    How long does it take to get feed back from a First Group Rail Interview

    It does take quite a while. I applied for 2 jobs both the same in different locations and it took about 9 weeks to hear I'd been put on the waiting list. Might be worth sending them an email as for another job prior to this I'd missed out due to an admin error. Just email there general...

    CrossCountry Assessment

    Thanks for your response :D I received the test papers yesterday, the STVT was pretty easy got 9/10 first time so I think I'll do alright there. The numerical one wasn't to bad, got 7/10 and really should've got 8 and one mistake was really basic. Think the biggest issue will be my...

    CrossCountry Assessment

    Hello, I've been invited to an assessment event for Cross Country trains and I'm not totally sure what to expect. I've been told I have to do a numerical test, station and ticket verbal test and a group exercise. They are sending me practice exercises in the post which I have yet to...
