Fingers crossed hey…saw you managed to pass everything and got placed in the pool. Massive congrats by the way.

Is anyone still waiting to hear either way from this application? Applied over Christmas, I’ve had the generic emails but nothing to say I’ve been successful/unsuccessful yet. I know people have already sat and passed assessments etc. Online portal still saying application under consideration.

Does anyone happen to know if the £30,078 quoted on the advert is full salary or is it a training wage? Also what is the realistic earning potential once you are in the role full time?

Honestly it’s not a personal dig at anyone specific but I can’t believe the amount of people asking for the interview questions. I have nothing against anyone in here and wish everyone the best but at the same time I am competing with everyone for the job. Why would I tell someone what the...

I feel your pain on this. My question 1 was awful, connection dropped out and I had to cut it short. Obviously tried again but then on the 2nd attempt I was conscious of time and I was erm this and erm that. Disaster. To be fair the other 5 questions I thought went well but I’d be surprised if...

I sat some online tests for it through the OPC….and fluffed them Annoyed at myself as I didnt really give myself the best chance with the time and environment I took them at but was my own fault. Onwards and upwards I suppose.

No buddy, total outsider from a different industry. Could be a glitch somewhere or maybe even they had just got to me in the pile of applications. Anyway will see what happens.

Has anyone received a reply from this? Had an email today requesting my national insurance number, seemed strange as all I have done so far is submitted the online application. It just says my application has been received and is currently been screened on the online portal.

I’m in a similar situation mate but for York depot. Applied in August but heard nothing since the generic thanks for your application emails etc...I also know a guy who’s applied for the Leeds role in September and he’s at the same stage as you. Like folk have previously said I think it’s a...

Yeah I’m in same boat, applied for York. Not heard anything else since your application is been screened email. Application is still live on the portal though so will see. Kicking myself for not applying for Leeds now if they’ve started moving forward. Hey ho you live & learn.

Don’t suppose any of you guys have had any update recently? Had the application been screened email for a different depot about 6 weeks ago but heard nothing since. Obviously with the current situation I guess recruitment is slowing while they gauge the public demand to public transport, however...

I got an email regards York last week too. Didn’t reject my application just thanking me again for applying and saying my application is currently been screened. It’s gone quiet again though so no idea. Anyone else heard anything good or bad?

Anyone seen the comms by first rail over last couple of days....wonder if it will have any impact on this recruitment drive

I don’t quite get why you would ask someone to ‘raise it internally’ by all accounts railway recruitment is notoriously slow never mind in the middle of a global pandemic. Relax man. If it’s meant to happen it will happen

If you looked at the top right of the screen the timer was counting down. It started to flash when you got under 2 minutes remaining I think. I only noticed it a few questions in and at that point it was still reading above 5 mins that’s only reason I guessed at maybe 6 mins.

Honestly can’t remember, 6 minutes maybe? Sure someone who has done it will recall

That will probably only become apparent once we see who has passed and failed. I probably cocked mine up. Think I had got about 31 done and still had well over 2 minutes left so I concentrated on accuracy on the remaining ones not really thinking how quick you do them could also have a bearing...

I’m fairly new to this myself mate but from reading on here folk don’t often give hints/help on the type of questions on these online tests, pretty understandable really considering we are all applying for the same job (not wanting to give competition any advantage). The sjt I just answered...

Yeah I’ve just received the same email for Leeds. Unsurprising really considering comments on here stating Leeds are currently over staffed with trainees atm.

Think the job closed mid April (17th sticks in my head) so will more than likely been around that time. Don’t remember seeing an email about recruitment been paused but totally understandable if that’s the case.
