As above, it's not advisable, however I did mention it in an interview once and was invited to a medical. I think it depends how you word it and when you say it. If they ask something like where do you see yourself in 5 years time, perhaps suggest it then. Basically, don't come across as though...

What is their MMI structure, out of interest? The opening isn't back up on the site, how do they want you to reapply?

MMI is part of the psychometric testing.

Unless you were counting out GBRf because of Estrella's comment, they also operate in the area, out of Crewe and Peak Forest. Im not sure how close to Manchester you were looking, of course.

After the video interview we had a group interview with other candidates at Derby. I didn’t get past that stage. If I had, I would then have had to do the stage 2 psychometric tests which the MMI is at the end of. I was just suggesting that it's a method that's been used since before covid hit.

I remember having to do a pre-recorded video interview for EMT (just before they become EMR) which was before covid. I think it's just another tool more companies are using to whittle the numbers down to manageable levels.

DRS are enhanced.

Yes, my last correspondence from them was that they'd be arranging dates and would be in touch, this was at the start of November.

It's very similar. And yes you can keep referring back to the key/guide during the test to check what you need to prioritise.

Pretty much as above, they're looking to see if you can give examples of when you've shown qualities that they want for the role you've applied for. I don't know which role you've applied for, but it will be along the lines of teamwork, conflict resolution, good customer service etc. Look at the...

To me, it reads like an auto-translated job application, could it mean coach driver? I can't see why a train driver based in Newcastle would need to know German, but i could perhaps understand if you were a coach driver making regular trips abroad.

Yea, likewise. I got a really good impression from the company though, and they were quite good at replying to my various emails. Sorry you didn't get through. Next time perhaps!

Got a rejection email yesterday for my questionnaire results. Good luck all!

The wording of the questions aren't always the same but they are always looking for your experience of the same 6 types of situations: working in a team, leadership, your ability to learn, going above and beyond etc. It sounds like SeanW90 is quite well prepared. The only thing I might add with...

Yes if you took them over 6 months ago you'll have to redo them all. When I did them they said it was so that all your tests will then have the same "expiry date" and when they apply to get your train driver license it forms a better case or something like that; there's no potential...

That was my strategy. With the options i felt were blatantly wrong, put them in order of the potential damage they'd cause.

TOCs/FOCs that use 'advanced' pass marks set their own higher pass mark than 'standard'. They may well use the same as other companies but there isn't a universal 'enhanced' pass mark. That's what the OPC assessor told me 3 weeks ago.

I'll take you up on that!

I'm 1hr 2 min and 1hr 8 min away from my nearest two. :lol: Close but not close enough. That's the postcode lottery!

As above; for interviews and also sometimes at the psychometric assessment stage, you'll be asked for proof of address, usually a utility bill.
