Yeah no wonder your chuffed! That is different to what i got, mine was 'congratulations on passing assessment, we will be in touch with you in due course about what happens next' blah blah!
Wish i lived nearer manc where theres higher turnover of staff :-/
Well done mate and good luck for...
Thanks Scudz, i was happy that i passed but then the worries of being talent pooled with no gurantee of a place isnt great. Its only a small depot where i live and there's 5 of us in our pool. Time wil tell and my fingers are crossed for all of our futures!
Some conductors dont know how lucky...
Have you got your date for medical then Potato? its normally not a job offer until you get offered a medical. Well done on passing though! I was in the same SCAAT as munster. My application was talent pooled though. status "on hold following successful conductor assessment" whenever i log into...
I sat interview with NR and got the result the very next day that i'd passed. Then two days after I was sent details of my Assessment day which was only 6 days away and about 200 miles away from where I live, I went for assessment and there was 10 of us but 8 for our depot.
7 passed, 2 got the...
Potato, you would still have to pass the Psyc tests. unless you've passed one before with another TOC and if its valid.
Pending pool is just the stage between having interview to those who'll get to sit assessments.
When i applied for trainee cond, there were 500 applicants, 12 made it to...
I applied for trainee conductor with Northern and passed my assessment, I didn't quite make the grade though and I'm now talent pooled along with another 4 candidates that also passed.
can i apply for other roles with northern now or not? also, how long have some of you guys been pooled for...
Nah not heard anything since last thurs when they said i'd passed. I better leave emailing them though as they did say they'd be in touch 'next week' so still thurs and friday to go. I'll leave it til monday. No news is good tho right??!
Yeah i will do, was hoping to hear something yesterday even tho i knew it was their first day back! I hand my notice in at work this afternoon so thats gonna feel odd. Worked for a supermarket for 10 years and been offered a deputy store manager role elsewhere. I'd far rather be coming to...
No not yet, am similar to yourself. I've just passed my assessment with northern last week and sat here hoping i've made it to medical. Worried tho as there was 8 of us for two jobs :-/ i applied early feb for a may intake. I think your pass would count. Northern have dropped the role play and...
Awwww that really sucks, sounds like you really worked hard and waited a long time for what you wanted. Can you not try northern? Their assessments are better now theres no role play etc
I so have everything crossed that i made it to medical. I have to tell my work on wednesday that i'm taking my redundancy so really hoping this works out.
I have another job lined up but really want this one, gonna be working longer days and have high targets to hit in the other job i've been...
Awww well done! I was sat across from you then, i was one of the barrow candidates. Did you notice other people cheating??? Some never put their pencils down when told to!
I passed too! Oh and how annoying was the assessor messing on her laptop?!!!
Thanks manCC i think its just the bank holiday has got in my way and i hope to hear something this week. There was people on my assesment cheating too (still holding pencil's when they should of been put down) hopefully karma is on my side!
Applied for Barrow in furness. :-)
