    Rejection

    This is exactly it. If you've got to the interview stage before, that means you've been scored on all the other criteria. Losing out at the paper sift means that one of these scores has disqualified you, compared to the other candidates. No one has seen your application and discarded it based...

    lets share signaller interview questions

    For what it is worth, I agree with JohnFM, I don't think it is appropriate to share that info on a public forum. If NR HR wanted the information published, they would do it themselves. The process is the way it is for a reason.

    Sjt

    Signaller assessment
