You get given uniform everything shoes, trousers, shirts, jackets, fleece, outdoor coat, hats gloves etc. some times it can be a slow process to get uniform so sometimes for the first few days you might wear your own stuff, but you will be provided with full uniform.
I'm not sure how many...
I did CSA role in couple of London stations and I loved the job but the security role will involve a lot patrols. They don't always tell people that on interview or the advertisement for the post. Patrols are hourly and continuous. There can be a lot of walking involved there will be customer...
Hmm.. Thanks Gary I might do that.
I just suppose its the just the nerves of handing in my notice today and the consequences if suddenly GTR says thanks but no thanks. also don't want to come across as harassing them...
Hey I was given a start date of 21st September and sent back contract etc, by any chance has anyone else received any documents other than the initial ones... ie where you go on start date etc. I'm due to hand in my notice soon and of course don't want it if suddenly it all goes pear shaped...
Hey Amex
I was a lil stuffed by my medical tbh... I had mine on 21st and then along came the bank holiday... I didn't technically hear back from them until I chased Ronke on 3rd June to find out and she told me I had passed and Claire would be in touch re start date... And Claire didn't do...
DMI was 5th may, medical 21st of may... i picked kgx
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I only applied for the kings cross job when the vacancies were on the list, I i remember correctly, there were vacancies for Bedford and Blackfriars. I didn't even know you could apply for more...
Just got the call... Start date KGX 21st Sept... its all starting now! I should get a the letter tomorrow. I haven't taken any holiday this year because of this process (and house buying) so now I get to plan something to happen before the start date...
Who's going to be at KGX???
That's the position my partner and I are in, ready to exchange and changing jobs midway through isn't ideal. So although I want to start yesterday it's probably best it's in Sept now. I'm in a pretty secure industry job anyway so no big rush
Though I don't want to wait that long, it kinda works out for me (midway through house buy) so easier not to have to be moving whilst studying. But I have not heard this from Claire myself yet, so might email her just confirm I'm waiting til sept as well
I found their entire process very slow, I got pass the initial screening then heard nothing months, finally got a holding email "we are processing lots of applicants etc." and then more months of hearing nothing... finally email to say wouldn't be progressing further. I think the whole process...
I applied with them this time last year, I found them to be really slow with their recruitment process it was very very late that they finally said I wasn't successful and even after I had gotten through the initial screening ... I hope you are far luckier with them than me. (currently I'm...
I picked Kings Cross and GN, so we shall see with the bank hols hopefully find out either way. I'd rather if say the start date isn't until July or Sept , keep working on current job (pays more than training period)
Passed medical today, drug test pending of course. And as I don't do any I should get the nod by tues /wed the bank hols delaying things slightly... Which is a pain!!! Im hoping for a July start date. Dont really want to hang around until sept... What are people doing if that's the case. Do you...
Hi can anyone give me rough ideas of their start dates, then I can work out roughly when mine might be. Once I get the nod from my medical this Thursday. I'm trying to work out when I'll need to give my months notice. Because obviously I'd want to do with a view to starting only a few days...
