Nope.
Guess it will be quite a while before we do now. I know a few First Group companies have started to freeze recruitment, wouldn't be surprised if GWR have aswell in light of the virus situation.
Not what I was told when I joined GB regarding rest day working. You had to state you wasn't available for rest day working otherwise they was entitled to make you work a rest day if you hadn't said you was unavailable.
Has anyone who applied to the trainee driver positions last month heard back from their VSE and M7 test results?
I've passed the Pyschrometric tests earlier this year.
Should i take it as bad news that 4 weeks on I still haven't heard back whether I passed the VSE and M& SJT?
I once applied to NR, got through to an interview to then find out I didn't get the job - fine as thats the way it goes.
However, i then find out a year later through a mutual contact that said job i applied to was only opened up to move a graduate from another depot.
Wasn't best pleased to find...
I did mine on Tuesday just gone. I found the following very useful in getting a very good idea what they are looking for and expecting to hear https://www.theopc.co.uk/files/Which%20NTS%20are%20most%20important%20for%20train%20drivers%20-%20Final.pdf
I read that a few times before my MMI and...
sorry to hear that.
I would also recommend reading the link below and getting as many of the words their looking for in your responses. After reading the below, you may even think of alternatives to use for your next MMI...
I did pencil and paper tests and computer tests on the same day (and passed those), but without the mmi.
Gwr have since come back to me to confirm stage 2 is just the mmi only
Got an email first thing this morning with them saying they're pleased to advise that I have completed the first stage of the assessment and saying I'll be contacted in due course for stage 2.
Is stage 2 the MMI or DMI?
I did all tests bar the MMI yesterday.
Hi
I underwent all tests bar the MMI today with GWR and the invigilator stated at the start of the assessments that we would not be given our pass or fail answer at the end. Would anyone on here who has previously been assessed by GWR know how soon they get back to you with the pass or fail...
Not sure about the validity after 5 years. I do know employers generally dont care about them and are more interested in your skills etc. I've only ever been asked once for proof of my degree as well
We've also got just 2 places left in the morning with either 45041 and 50026 on the 9th of May.
place available with the photocharter too on the 10th of May.
47192 will be stored out the way in Princes Risborough due to Crewe Heritage centre not being able to supply a rep which is a shame as it'd have been the first 47 on the Chinnor branch since 1990. So I guess that the next 47 on our branch will be 771 in a year or twos time.
Regarding the 66...
