Yeh, I was aware this is the format they were looking for so tried to do this on each of my answers. The lady interviewing kept interrupting when I trying to set the situation, almost like she wanted me to skip to the end result, I found it a bit strange to be honest, she explained what she was...

The woman said she can't give feedback on the MMI as it would make it unfair for other potential candidates? I.e I would have an advantage if I applied again. She said I just needed to generally tailor my answers to the questions better, but couldn't go into any deeper detail than that. Pretty...

Yes just the MMI, rest of it was all good. Shame they can't give any feedback on the MMI, but then I guess it would make it easier for next time. I was surprised there was only 4 of us on the assessment, and 2 went home after the first set of tests, other person I was with was already a shunter...

Ah ok, it was the MMI then, so first strike I guess. I found it pretty hard to come up with situations that suited the questions that they were asking, back to the drawing board I guess, hopefully there is another recruitment drive within the next 6-12 months, atleast I know what to expect...

Failed at interview stage today :( think I got my hopes up, thought I gave good examples to the questions but obviously not. Nevermind.

I got a call today inviting me for an interview/assessment next Thursday (15th) . I have to go to Doncaster, is this normal? Its about a 4 hour Journey from where I live up to there.

Ah fair enough, I only submitted my application on 9th July. Just wondered as applied for Frieghtliner around the same time and have already progressed a fair way along with them.

I've applied for Eastleigh, was just wondering how long it took for your application to go through to the next stage? When I go on the DB website mine still says 'Application in process'
