Good luck for your Arctic Shores, I found them relatively straight forward although one of them was certainly more tricky than the other.
I did my assessment centre prior to Arctic Shores, but it sounds like there's some movement for you finally.
I don't think they make it clear how the process works, perhaps it could be that our assessments are scored somehow and they use that to determine who starts when etc... I'm internal and applied the same time as a colleague, I've had assessments and he's still waiting so I wouldn't read too much...
Morning,
I'll leave any ladies to respond as appropriate for what to wear, although on my day it appeared to be trousers and a top.
Lots depends on the depot you've applied for and the turnover of drivers, some locations have a higher turnover. Some of the recruitment is based on assumptions...
I think to echo what Mickey has said. It's an intentionally intense process and you do also need an element of luck. But fundamentally it's down to the individual to achieve the required standard on each assessment, if you need everything explicitly explained in order to pass them, then you'd...
I did speak to a friend of mine who was invited to do Arctic Shores after applying (I believe this stage is usually prior to the in person assessments). He was unsuccessful and was told so straight away.
That best news, congratulations mate! Hopefully I'll be in the same position at some point this year (although a longer wait is expected for my chosen depot).
Any DMI pointers that you can recall?
Good luck with it all.
When I was there for assessments, she said that there's no set order with regards MMI/DMI, she said it depended on depot. I think depot's with vacancies sooner generally have DMI first.
Morning,
I believe there were around 20 images and each one was on the screen for around 1 second. The list of things to look for doesn't change though, so you should get used to searching for the things required.
Good luck with it all.
I've certainly heard that, but the scores from the assessments are valid for 5 years, I'm fairly confident that I'll have a DMI/MMI way before then, I'm fairly sure they'll take place this year. Obviously some depot's have vacancies more frequently etc...
I think once you settle into it, it goes quite quickly and before you know it you're finished. You aren't required to wear headphones for it, but I did to enable me to get used to them for the other assessments and also to block out any distractions. Take your time with the practice (I did the...
Good luck!
They didn't do MMI on the same day for us and I was led to believe that they've stopped doing them on the same day, although it may be different if yours is just a partial day.
I wasn't too worried about the grey square one, as others have said it's obviously different. I was...
