Hi guys
I have a managers interview on wednesday in Reading. Is this similar to the Structured interview?
Its with someone called Helen. I'd hate to fail this after getting so far.
Not sure about any courses planned though.

So do you also need an engineering qualification and mechanical/electrical experience to apply??
I've never heard of these requirements when applying for Trainee Driver roles. I wonder if its just a London Midland requirement.
Shame really as i have neither of the above but really want to apply!!
Hi guys,
Just looking for a bit of info.
I recently had the Structured interview for Fgw.
This was carried out by someone from Opc.

Hi
Does anyone know the difference between a Senior conductor and a Train manager at Cross Country?
The roles look pretty similar.
Also, what shift pattern and routes would you do as a Train manager based at New street?
Cheers
Dave.
I spoke to them a few weeks ago fella. Just got the "we'll be in touch" line yet again!
Just want to get this Structured interview out of the way so i can know if I've passed or not as this is the one thing that im most dreading!
Are you external candidate?
Congrats Scuba. Fair play to you mate.
I've been waiting for the Structured/Managers interview since May 2012.
Really hope they contact me soon.
Which depots did you guys apply for? Mine was Wimbledon.

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone's heard any news regarding Trainee driver courses for this year. Did hear rumours about some being cancelled and the required number of Drivers is not as much as first thought.
Im still waiting to sit the Structured interview since last May! Im hoping i will...
Guys,
During the Structured interview, when giving your examples do you think its best to go into as much detail as you can OR keep it brief and then let the interviewer ask you to expand on your answers?
