I don’t know much really, they send you a few forms to fill in, bank accounts etc for wages to go into. You fill the forms in at home then take them up to HQ. They check the forms, copy your NI passport and a household bill. Then you get an email to fill in more information so a third party can...
Cool
I’m self employed anyway so if there was no job....I’d have to break the drill back out, rather not though.
Ps the company tie you get as a driver...is lovely whoever chose it can’t have passed the colour blind test at the medical
It does say something about that in my conditional offer, although they’ve told me I will be starting 15/7/19 so I’m guessing it must all but be sorted
Either that or I’ll have no job
I think so, and references. Let you know later on once it’s sorted.
I am chuffed but still holding my breath and not popping the champagne until it’s all watertight....you never know
It’s a slow process. In all fairness they get a huge number of applicants.
I’ve got my background checks and uniform sizing today, it’s taken 14months from the day I applied.
In my opinion, it also takes a longtime so that some people drop out/de-select themselves. The numbers they receive...
Congratulations buddy
It’s a great feeling I’ll be even more happy once I get the actual contract in my mitts. Always feels like there’s a chance they could pull the rug...well done matey, a lot of people would love to be you right now. Enjoy it.
The 12/8 will soon come round. I start the 15/7...
Not officially. I was told there and then that I’d done well and I would be back for a medical, but I took it with a pinch of salt until it was confirmed in writing
Good luck
Good luck tomorrow
Get that out the way and then you’ll be fine. They’ll want the details of your medication but so long as it doesn’t affect your fitness to carry out your duties you should be fine
Wmt max bmi was 33. The assess each applicant. I’m a fit 34.7, I can tie my own shoes...so that’s a goodbye level of fitness
I spent weeks worrying and stressing about it whilst losing a few pounds. Just relax and you’ll be fine
As long as your heart, blood pressure is ok and your generally well you should be fine. I carry some timber and my bmi was 34.7. They accepted me, got my uniform and back ground check meeting tomorrow.
My dmi was around 45minutes.
I was very relaxed about it, after all, it’s just a chat with two people about your experiences within your past/current work.
The people who interviewed me were very friendly and I felt at ease. Just relax and stay calm
I’m not sure buddy, I think and I’m guessing. Once you have completed al training and assisted driving hours you would be on 41.5k, then I think you have to do a time period to get the top whack. Probably 1-2years at a total guess
Really sorry to hear this dude.
I would apply for other jobs you don’t want, even if it’s tesco etc, do the interviews. You can’t beat experience and the confidence it’ll bring when they want you.
I would also watch lots of videos on YouTube regarding interview scenarios and techniques...
I’m down as snowhill or new st
Haven’t been told where I’ll be based yet.
Thanks for the congrats etc, good luck to anyone else who is waiting for news/progress.
