Same. Only I'm July 2015, not June.
All those who recently received start dates, are you all from the 2015 recruitment drive, and did you all get called for another medical ?
ComUtoR
Have you heard any whispers on recruitment and the chances of all the guys waiting around for (originally) Bedford, whom went thru the process in the summer of 2015 ? Some of us like me are within the commute to other places like Luton, St Albans, Hitchin, N London.
Anything at...
Had an email to resend my original application.
So I did and I immediately rec'd another email saying that closing date for applications was Oct 14.
I knew mine would be one of the ones lost/not rec'd.
Not impressed
Theyve also openly admitted theyve not recd / lost some.
This forum amazes me. If I just let it slide, accepted it, but its been lost and the chance had gone, you'd have people on here saying if you really want the job that bad you'd grasp the nettle and be on top of it.
If you actively...
Ive also emailed due to my lack of response, but I wasnt asked to re-submit, instead I got this......
"Hi there,
Thanks for your email. Great to hear from you.
The Talent Team are currently dealing with unprecedented numbers of applications for the Azuma driver recruitment. So...
You do know WDS has started his training dont you?
The chances that he goes to work and hears depot and trainer related stuff is pretty high I wouldve said.
In any case, WDS cheers for info mate.
Applied Oct 4. Heard nothing.
The pessimist in me is saying its been overlooked/lost/rejected.
The optimist in me is saying Im going straight to interview as Ive passed assessments with another TOC.
probably lost then :D
Some people have had tests sent, and have practised before submitting.
Some people have had Dear johns, and a 25% off travel voucher.
Some people have rec'd glitch emails, and have tweeted VTEC, and rec'd twitter replies.
I've still heard jack Sh*t !!
RE - never going to happen after 16mths. You obviously don't know how this all works. Nobody for Bedford has been put on a course yet. Theres a reason why assessments results are valid for 3 years
RE - be more proactive. Laughing face emoji.
Guys I mean this in the nicest possible way, but if some of you are stressing out about waiting 2 or 3 weeks for an email, you'll never last in a talent pool.
16 mths and counting
Hi Mate
Ive been in a TP since July last year. Virtually all of the other guys at the same time as me, are also still in there too.
I appreciate and understand exactly how and why it all works, but what was slightly confusing was the mass panic to get people thru their medicals....... I...
Hi Mate
I passed EVERYTHING with GTR......... all assessments, MMI, DMI, medical.
That was back in July 2015.
Virtually everyone in my boat are still waiting in the Talent Pool. Hardly anyone got the call yet.
So, nothing surprises me when it comes to waiting around.
