Yeah being straight down the line with recruitment is fine but anyone thinking putting 12 months training in to a 70 year old is a good idea or makes business sense is being a bit silly
Yeah it seems to be a very slow process
I was told I’d passed the online tests a month ago and still no idea if I’ll get an interview for either position
I’m just trying to forget about it until I hear something but it’s quite difficult
Had an email saying I was under consideration for the role with the hiring manager at both the positions I applied for. Means nothing at all but I was happy to hear I was still in the game
Probs 3.5 weeks since I was informed I’d passed the tests
Slow process
Apologies for all the questions gents

Worked 65 hrs already this week and will be at work until 0200-0300 tonight ffs (finish around 75hrs overall, common occurrence)...
Yeah I understand that now
Tbh I did some jobs when I was a bit younger that look great on a CV, high pressure, a lot responsibility, dangerous etc so I made those the focal points and just did the best I could with the mundane stuff I’ve been doing the last 4 years as I didn’t think it’d be of...
I’ve been over my CV I sent in to network rail today as I’ve checked my work history and I’ve forgotten to put in a company I worked for roughly 4 years ago for around 6 months (I knocked the CV together in about half an hr off the top of my head to apply, never needed a CV in current line of...
If I pass the online tests (will do them Saturday morning) is the next stage the interview?
And if the interview goes well pre-employment checks?
What do the pre employment checks consist of gents?
Same for any other practice tests if you know of any websites you can link gents!
Thanks in advance
