Hi Cameron, I'm delighted to say that I passed all tests on the day, and tbh it was a very tough day both mentally and emotionally. There were 16 people there for the assesment that began at 9.30, the two girls that ran it were really nice and put our minds at rest and made sure we were...

I got a text message telling me they had emailed me a date for an assesment which is next wednesday the 30th and you then have to reply to the email that the date is ok to attend. The next day I recieved an information pack with material to swat up on, so its heads down and into the books for...

Already been down the IVA road for the past two years and unfortunately it didnt work for me and believe me bankruptcy isnt something to be taken lightly as I have investigated all other options and this is my final and only route to unburden myself and family from our finacial hardships. But...

With the current state of the country its not an uncommon thing now and the thing that puts most people off is the stigma, but as you say it beats being skint and getting hounded by your debtors.

Thanks bestwestern and others but tbh its the best way out of a bad situation and if I could just land a descent job all would be fine, its like hitting a reset button on your financial life, start all over again. You do get to have a bank account although its controled by a trustee who allows...

I am currently in the process of making myself bankrupt and if anyone can tell me will this affect my chances of getting a job as a trainee conductor with Scotrail, and if by some miracle I get a chance at an assesment or an interview should I come clean and explain my situation right away...

I havent been on this forum now for a wee while mainly because of PR**ks like rollwithit who feel the need to try to stop normal people from airing their honest opinions and views on this forum. I thought that was the purpose of forums but this diddy is obviously a very negative person and...

Let me get something straight here, I never said being a train driver was an easy job. I can totally appreciate the long months of training and long hours at the helm what I meant was that its not as physically demanding and punishing as the job I do now. And given half a chance at working for...

Well maybe its time somebody beamed him up cos hes as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. :lol:

Just been told by Scotrail of vacancy withdrawn for role of conducter after over three months sitting at "awaiting shortlisting". Yet another dreadful performance from Scotrail HR, somebody has to start kicking some arses in there and get them to stop treating us, real people, like cattle...
