CrossCountry - Apprentice Train Driver - Recruitment Discussion

Thanks for that. I'll have to figure something out then as they went bust haha. Is it an email link or something they send? Hopefully my explanation will suffice

Even if they went bust, you'll have to prove it by HMRC records that you was employed by that company.
Any little discrepancy and you risk getting your offer withdrawn.

Just make sure your application is accurate. They ask for 3-5 year reference but do extensive checks in the background as its a safety critical role so they don't take any risks.

Download your HMRC records and have a character reference or an old employer ready to provide reference.

Thanks. There'll be no administrative discrepancies as I have the payslips and if XC are able to link in to HMRC data, then it'll correctly correspond.

I just don't have any personal connection with anyone from the company, so would struggle to give an email address/phone number etc. All verifiable via Companies House.

I had conditional offer over the phone then I did medical first and then DBS and reference checks carried out and contract was sent out to me over email.
Once the checks were completed
I handed my notice in.
I had a 3 month notice period but was only able to provide just over a month due to course start date.

Thanks for the quick response

I'm in a similar position I have a 16 week notice period and I've still not had my medical organised or heard anything back from the DBS check.
I'm obviously pretty confident it will go well but the idea of putting my notice in basically next week without a written offer of employment is a bit nervy

Very similar position to me, although my notice period is shorter. Can I ask when you submitted your DBS details? I sent mine off 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet.
