    I am pretty certain that means you have an interview scheduled, sometimes the email to confirm an interview can be up to 24 hours after the application status is updated in your careers portal. Hopefully you get the email with the good news within the next few hours.

    Does not mean you are having an interview, means your application has been given to the hiring manager (LOM if a signallers job) and they will decide who to interview out of those forwarded Hope you do get an interview though, fingers crossed for you

    100% Agree Not interested in the role myself but find it a very annoying policy that Northern adopt

    Northern Depot Drivers x 2, Blackburn

    Disagree but respect we all have our own opinion, why should they expect someone to go through what can be a lengthy application process even to get as far as an interview and not have a clue what the salary is. Northern have jobs advertised that are pretty poorly paid (not referring to drivers...

    Northern Depot Drivers x 2, Blackburn

    Why do Northern never specify the salary for a job they have advertised? To me this is really poor, i understand money should not be the only reason for applying for a job but lets face it nobody would take a job without knowing what they are getting paid

    If you only clicked the link to do the tests within the last couple of days it will take a few days for your previous test results to be applied, you will then receive a further email advising if you reached the required benchmark for that specific job and the status will change to either test...

    Deliberate downwards career move

    Are you familiar with the latest interview techniques and "point" scoring? Depending what you believe and read, one opinion is applicants are appointed purely on how they perform (score) at interview which would effectively rule out previous railway experience

    Can they seriously be filled by an external applicant, seems totally illogical
