Interesting. I wonder if this will lead to more companies bringing the testing in-house like I know DB Cargo do.

I've not been contacted by phone, it's all been email-based for me. I've accepted an offer elsewhere anyway ;) Good luck with your role, I hear Peak Forest work is booming so I'm sure you'll stay busy.

They were looking at a mid feb start date IIRC but it was a while ago so plans can change. I just find it odd that I've not heard from them since.

Rail Operator

Had an interview late last year, had a medical start of Feb. Heard nothing since.

Thanks for all your responses, I only asked because I'm currently in a non-rail role where I only have to give 1 week's notice, so it was a bit disconcerting when I initially read it. I totally understand the reasons for it.

Hi folks, I've had a search around the forum but haven't found much info on this subject. For drivers and/or other safety critical workers at TOCs and FOCs, what is your contracted notice period? I've been sent a contract and if I wanted to leave (I don't) I have to give 4 months notice. Is this...

24 hours notice of an interview is a bit rough! Sorry you didn't get through this time. As others have said you're in a much stronger position now you have the test passes under your belt. I hope you got some good feedback?

No, I will likely ask during the interview if they have a date in mind.

Who said I was starting Monday? :D This is just after psych assessments.

Seems I've got a DMI being lined up. Anyone else from this round of recruitment at this stage too?

For my MMI, the interviewer read out the question, then said "I've got down here that you..xyz."., and then said "could you tell me more about this in detail please" or words to that effect. As Shunted has said above, don't be too worried about trying to remember the example you gave. If you...

I haven't applied to this, but I've interviewed for GBRf in the past.

It'll be a competancy-based interview, so yes, similar questions about your experience of handling different situations. Use the STAR method again. They will also likely ask what you know about the company. Do some research, look through their website. Learn their core values etc.

Manchester

Just had an invite for an assessment day. First contact since November.

As I understand it, if you've completed those components, you wouldn't need to resit them providing you reached the required standard. Worth noting though that there is an expiry date on your passes so you might have to resit them if they have lapsed by the time you apply for a driving role.

I think I interviewed for the same position, early 2020 was it? Didn't hear back afterwards.

I used bullet points IIRC to keep the answers short and to the point.

As above. Your most recent result always overwrites previous attempts.
