Just wondered if RSM and First Class hosts earn commission on sales on board? Also hows OT paid? Re have been offered the position and would be good to hear for someone in the position

The tests are easy... its personality testing. There's no maths, English.. just straight forward.. 4 statements which you either disagree agree unsure etc.. Questions like do you like working in a team? Do you like to be centre of attention blah .. Where were you based with FGW? Pleased to...

Worked for British Rail on board services as a steward later chief steward. Then British Midland as it was called then. Then debonair airways and now at British airways.

How was your interview today? FGW Paddington have sent me the on line tests..again! Did them for Bristol station. XC group discussions seem to be all about forceful lol.. I thought about giving them feedback too, but it would fall on deaf ears. My main criticism was that despite sitting in...

Hope this one works out for you. I know FGW at Paddington were recruiting. I`ve applied for that, but they may not be so keen on me as I`m over Bristol way. Here`s my feedback email.. (just wondering if its genetic or individual LOL) In reply to your email requesting feedback from your recent...

Jackie gave me feedback. She did the interview. Was the professional and polite phase used btw? I'll be honest I though you would get further than my group and me as you are closer to London with more jobs than in the south west.

Hey there. I got feedback too. Yesterday and oddly I think we may have the same email ;-). I wasn't forceful enough with my ideas of which items I would take off in the plane crash group discussion . Btw a new job at x c trains at Bristol for train manager. Hmm

I`m still waiting 2 weeks since the interview for feedback. Glad I`m not holding my breath LOL If any feedback, it will be flannelled wishy washy general blah, depending in circumstances. If say the candidate hadn`t experience or needed to improve on their Maths its easy options for XC trains...

ah see we didn't get to introduce ourselves :roll::D:D The group discussion was re plane crash in the jungle, what equipment would you take with you. Now there is no right answers for the discussion, however they were looking for reasons why you wanted to take that piece of equipment with...

Thanks for your message tomw121. Interesting info. Definitely not fair in any shape or form. For me it was the time wasting and effort I put into applying for the RSM position. Several hours completing the on line application, then 4 hours on the actual day (including travelling to and from...

I'd like to say Good Luck and hope it goes better than my interview did with XC trains for the RSM role based at a station in the SW. The day started with just 4 candidates, as there were 2 no shows. As we arrived we were signed in and sat in the mess room. Offered a drink. We were sat in with...

:-) well if you are airline crew on A319/320/321 and the B767 for the very said company it helps ;) I`m sure XC isn`t that bad and "somewhere" they do have jobs, but unfortunately how that interview was conducted they have left themselves open for criticism. I was one person who perhaps...

I remember this DMUs on the Wellingborough - Bedford, they ran an early morning service, and I believe a late night chug north with and filling in during the day. They were painfully slow compared to the 125's and didn`t last long. Used to connect intermediate stations between Bedford and...

depends if you get though a shambolic interview where you're told there are no jobs (sorry there is 1 job, but we don't need anyone), do 2 tests in Maths and English comprehension sit a group interview with 3 others, then told how they have such high standards, we will give you feedback (still...

Just recently had an interview with XC as a RSM based in Bristol. Wasn`t the best interview I`ve ever experienced. They seem to work on tests, Maths, English similar to those sent to you, then a group interview. Good luck. You may have better luck than our group, plus you have an...

Wow! Thanks for all the comments. Bought some discuss here :). (even going off track - sorry the pun) In the days of BR, you were sent a ticket (usually a blue cardboard one) to attend a interview. Of course, things change and move on. Lets be honest only 2 or 3 people really know the truth...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I thought it was odd at the start of the assessment day with the "we don`t have any jobs at Bristol, but Management have said we can have one position" There was a few slips of the tongue which you forget at the time, only when you think back, with ah yes...

I recently attended an interview with XC trains, Bristol based for RSM role. XC recruitment had selected 6 candidates to be interviewed, with just 4 candidates turning up. How the day proceeded: 4 of us sat in the Mess room. We were then taken though to a training room, where we had a short...

thanks Falcon... all that was fading out as I left, and pleased its stopped to be truthful. All companies have nipped those kinda tricks in the bud. If I am successful in what I've applied for, it would be very nice indeed, if those electric sales machines at the touch of button prints me...
