Is this for the job that was listed quite recently for the talent pool? How long have you been waiting since you applied? Congratulations on getting to this stage.

Has anyone else applied for this position? Anyone got any idea how long it will take for them to get back to you?

I was having this problem today. I phoned hr and they said that it is a known problem that they are trying to rectify. They seemed to think it was affecting people who have applied for other roles using the same account.

Hi I’ve seen a job advertised on the northern website for an operations apprentice. I have read the job description but it’s not clear what this role is. What do people working in operations do?

I was thinking that because they have skills that are tailor made for the rail industry. I would have thought that my experience running a public house would count for something. I think a lot of it is down to luck because there are a lot of applicants for these jobs and your not telling me...

It was for Manchester Piccadilly and no I didn’t contact them. I applied on the 4th March and they got back to me today. Good luck everyone who has applied hope you fare better than me. I’m not giving up on this career. Set backs are all part of the process. I think I need to tailor my cv and...

That’s certainly given me some hope at least. Just frustrating when you don’t hear anything. On the plus side it’s giving me more time to prepare if I happen to get shortlisted for an interview. Don’t want to be rushing to prepare for an interview with a weeks notice.

I applied on March 4th for Manchester Piccadilly and mine is still in progress. On the confirmation email it says they will aim to be in touch in the next 2-4 weeks but not heard nothing yet which is concerning. Do they contact every applicant to let them know either way?

Thanks badger that’s put my mind at rest. I applied on 4th March and my application has been “in process” since then. I keep logging in everyday but nothing has changed thus far. Here’s hoping I can get an interview at least. Hope you hear from them soon Paul.

I applied for a train driver role for northern rail via the Deutsche Bahn website and I didn’t have any online assessments. I filled in the details, uploaded my cv, cover letter and references. Have I misssed them? because I didn’t see them.
