Does anyone know if ATW do the mechanical comp part of the assessment?recently passed the assessments with FGW but they don't require the mechanical comp. If they do then would it be a case of just doing that part of the assessment?and not the whole thing again
Hope not only had my interview Thursday.People have been given dates for assessments again, stage one! So why would they do this if all vacancies are full? The next course might be full,i dont know but this is on going so patience required!
I've applied for Oxford depot so a little suprised the interview is in reading.Have you had your medical yet? I know they are starting a course in January so maybe worth contacting HR
Emailed them this morning asking what was going on with interviews then got a phone call a couple of hours later! nervous too got my interview thursday in reading,how about you?
Very frustrating for everyone still involved! Been 7 weeks since i passed the assessments and no sign of an interview. HR said last month that they hope to arrange dates before christmas but im not holding my breath! Frustrating but if successful then it will be all worth it! Anybody have a...
Yeh they sound like it. I wanted to apply but didn't get past the first part with living under 60mins from depot. I would of relocated if successful! I guess they do it to keep the numbers down!
That sounds positive if they were laid back,maybe they knew you were the right man straight away.Hope mine is that relaxed! No news yet,been 3weeks since I last spoke to them so will give it till the end of the week before chasing it up.Did they tell you how long before you hear anything?
I think everyone feels like that after an interview bob! I'm sure you'll be fine and like you say its a great experience if you haven't quite made it!
Fingers crossed for you though!
Hi everyone,would be interested to know peoples thoughts on numbers in the process.Just a thought but let's say there was 3000 applicants.How many do we feel get through the sift and invited to stage one? I would guess 500 then I think 300 would pass and go through to stage two. Again I am...
Didn't see that advertised for penzance,gloucester and exeter.Was it on the first website? Only thought positions were reading,paddington,oxford,westbury and bristol.
Yeah I have been but I filled out the form in august aswell as other forms for different tocs so forgotten the questions.I'm not worried just seeing if anybody could let me know so I can be better prepared! I've had a pm to help me out so sorted now.
Cheers
Thanks Pete good luck to you too! I would imagine HR will give short notice like they seem to have done to most people.So need to be prepared! I'm hoping they will read your application form out to you and then ask questions?
Could anybody who filled out the application form for trainee train driver remind me what the questions were? I made a schoolboy error and didn't make a copy so can't remember everything I put down.Now got a manager's interview and pretty sure they will quiz me on the form. If someone could let...
hi Neil,I was told 13/14 rows with one or two errors would be a pass.I only managed 11 rows but that's on all 5.I don't know how many I got wrong but it must of been an average or higher pass because fgw don't except borderline passes.The sheet they give you is big and I think easier than the...
