Yes and a lot more frequently than you’d expect, they currently have an advert for Birmingham New Street

I’m unable to give the info your looking for but what your asking are perfect questions to ask at the end of the interview, interviews are two way and just as much a chance for you to find out more about the job as them find out about you. I had an interview with CrossCountry 2 years ago and...

its Not 100% useless but it’s definitely not needed, any information you need can be found within forums like this. One thing you have to remember about psychometric tests is they’re designed to test your personal attributes not things that can be learnt, people just like to know what to...

I did although I sat in a pool for a few months

There isn't much of a monopoly as most of the competition is over and done with during the franchise bidding period. what might help with this new agreement is that they will get reviewed every year to ensure they are keeping up with their obligations and promises, whether it will actually work...

In short yes, although a few TOC’s use a higher pass mark
