Ring recruitment and ask its over the 14 days requirement

Someone in my group waited 15 days i wouldnt worry. Its different for everyone another in my group got told before she even got the train back home.

Yes they should call you today at latest. If not id ring them tomorrow. I never received a call i just got an email the very next day offering me the job but it varies from person to person i wouldnt worry.

If you havent heard by start of June give them a ring.

Brilliant news mate, ur the 1st person to say ur starting same day as me i was getting worried for a minute lol. Well done on getting through. How you feeling, as it gets closer im getting abit nervous but i think its because ive worked in the same role for 15yrs and its all new to me. Look...

I was offered the job Jan 15th i think it took til march to get my ref, background checks etc done. I think it was 5 weeks to medical. I think it depends how close your start date is.

You are correct, dont worry about the glasses you are asked to bring them to the medical. Worry about the medical after the DMI no point worrying yet just concentrate on the interview is my advise

Haha, ive just received my induction email, says lots of training in April and head office will be very busy. Seems like alot of info on the 1st 2 days.

Hi Guys anyone starting 1st April yet or am i a lone ranger lol. Im maidenhead depot most ppl on here seem to get start dates for the east.

40mins is nothing i would take that offer pass the training and if u really wanted to get to Gidea just apply for transfer down the line. Ive been offered maidenhead which isnt even ready yet, so if i have to il be at old oak which is 58mins drive on satnav. Take the job before the offers gone

Sorry mate, i dont have inside info i havent started the role yet.

I think they tell you within 14 days, i was at head office last week they said there very busy processing all the applicants at the moment.
