That's the standard response. The questions you'll be asked on the SHL (online) assessment are all related to the 8 Non-Technical Skills. Learn them. Love them. What box is it? What grade? To be honest, I don't know why they asked you that question, the salary is fixed and non-negotiable!

NR still issue train tickets in advance. Generally the company won't ask you to buy a ticket and then reimburse you (though this can also happen).

The questions are the same, regardless of grade. If you entered at your grade 3 off the street, you would have been asked entirely external questions. The interviewers actually have two sets of questions they can ask, internal and external. They will still address each NTS in turn, but can...

This is super important to remember.

Feedback tends to only come after interviews. If they gave feedback to all unsuccessful applicants, they wouldn't have any time left to do anything else!

Hello! Yeah, that is the normal shift pattern. Generally the shifts run 6.30-6.30 with some local arrangements 10 mins or so either side. The stations I work we tend to get in around 6.15. We work 3-4 days/nights on the trot and then have a similar number of days off. Every 5 weeks or...

Wear smart casual, trousers and a shirt. Take a pen.

just an interview as far as i know

Just know the 8 technical skills. The interview will be based around them. Communication is key. Look up how you would confirm understanding with a colleague. Be confident.

As a recent Alum of West Hampstead, I can heartily recommend working there. A tough, but great place to cut your teeth. Great people, fun, active service.

Were you actually, literally told this by NR staff?

Job openings are advertised internally first, so there shouldn't be much, if any, internal competition to external advertisements.

That is quite a long time. Maybe call HR?

Be96erj: i sincerely want NR to hire the best people they can. If you believe that you are right for the role, and if you're correct about that, then I hope you find your way into the company. There are, as many have mentioned, constructive things you can do. If you want me, or others, to look...

Well Network Rail has done a lot to combat these sorts of accusations that have been made, perhaps fairly, in the past. As far as you, or any of us know, they are totally baseless.

Why wouldn't they be applying the same assessment criteria? They're all assessed centrally, not locally. EDIT: This might, might be due to the change in signaller assessment? Maybe you'll be getting an email on how to proceed from here?

I assume you read all the discussion around your other rejection? Nothing has changed. You a) don't know your assessment day score and b) don't know those (and other scores) of the other candidates of the other 5 jobs. The jobs in the south east are bound to be incredibly competitive, as are...

Mine were all before the new tests, but I don't see why you wouldnt use the same answers for all

I had 12 open applications at one point. Just go for them all!

sure mate, email it to tfinglis@hotmail.co.uk bear in mind your responses to the new questions will have a lot more weight these days, and I've not seen those!
