    Trainee Driver vacancies DBS

    Agree - I just typed my name in the box. Electronic Signature just means that by sending the document electronically, it is assumed that you have "signed" it and accepted any terms within it. Got an acknowledgement email back on Monday. :-) Dave.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Cheers mate. They did ask at my DM interview if I had any holidays booked so they are already aware of the dates but you are right, if it comes down to it, I will sacrifice the holiday for the career opportunity!

    Ok thanks. How long is the classroom training? I have 2 weeks holiday at the beginning of august so I am wondering if that will effect any potential start date they may give me.

    First Great Western - Trainee Drivers

    Hi All, I have a Driver Manager interview booked in for next week in Reading. Would really have preferred a Trainee position in Bristol as I live a lot closer to Bristol than Reading but I don't think that there is any space left. :-( Does anyone know what to expect in the DM interviews?
