Yeah had DMI 4 months ago and still haven't heard a thing.

i think its obviously a No but the lack of communication is shocking.

Hi Ashford, congrats on getting an interview and no news is good news. Have you contacted HR just to follow up. You got any hints or advice as I've got an interview next week. Cheers.

Presume you are in for Warrington? Surely you of all people need no help with this!

 

[Loco94]

I applied 13/05/21 for junior driver east mids and south Yorkshire hubs

I progressed from the online stage 09/08/21

Got invited to assessment day 20/08/21

I had my assessment day 06/09/21 in Doncaster

Got invited to DMI 09/09/21

I had my DMI 14/09/21 in Doncaster

Found out I had passed DMI and had been placed in both east mids & South Yorkshire talent pool 24/09/21

Got invited for medical 20/10/21

Medical date confirmation from occupational health 25/10/21

I passed my medical 19/11/21 in Birmingham

Still no start date as of yet, hope these time scales help those still in the process, it’s creeping up to a year in the process for me personally and can’t wait to start if the day ever comes.

Hey up, no it's for peak forest. Not had a interview for over 20 years and blagged that one lol

Lol.. Peak Forest looks pretty good, busy place too. I don’t think they have juniors there either, so I’m led to believe so it would straight to mainline if that is the case. Usual interview stuff for any toc, research company and expect similar competency questions to that in the MMI. As you have done that recently it should be pretty fresh. Have a search on forum for DMI and see what else comes up.

I passed the psychometric tests last month but not heard anything regarding a DMI yet.

Yeah know a lad who works there, worked with him at a different time toc, he said there's 4 vacancies as well. Nice busy place and quite a big route map as well. Yeah did think that was the case for the dmi. Well best get some researching done

I was over a year in from applying but covid didn’t help. Medical in June, no communication until an offer came through towards the end of the year.

I went straight in as a main line trainee at PF

Hi God. I have my PF assessment this week. What time did you finish? And how many of you were present?

 

[God]

Hi God. I have my PF assessment this week. What time did you finish? And how many of you were present?

Hey Trev, you for Peak Forest as well. Are you off to Carr Hill. There was only three of us as that's the max they do due to size of room. I finished around 1400 but I was the only one left after the first part of tests. There's two staff who do the interviews so if all three pass it all someone would have to wait for the mmi. Also depends if everyone turns up on the day too. Good luck.

== Doublepost prevention - post automatically merged: 23 Mar 2022 ==

So had my interview today for PF and rlfelt it went really really well. Told there's interviews rest of the week and should hear either way in the next two weeks. I asked about the vacancy as it was for junior driver, he told me its mainline as they don't have junior drivers I.e depot driver. Good luck to anyone having their interview this week.

Did they mention how many positions they were hoping to fill?

Hi Trev, no they said it would be a talent pool. My mate who works there said there's 4 vacant lines and possibly 2 retiring. Have you had your assessment yet pal, if so how did you get on.

 

[DJD]

I recently had my psychometrics for a position at peak forest. Just awaiting a DMI now.

 

[Shelly999]

I recieved an email on Thursdsy to say I've been succesful getting through to the assessment centre in march/April. I've applied for mossend.
Anyone else heading to Doncaster soon too?
Cheers

Hi DJD,

Great news on passing the tests, you heard anything of yet for the DMI. Mine all happened within two weeks. Had my DMI two weeks back and was told I would hear within two weeks. As of yet not heard anything.

Seems par for the course.. I’ve had two DMI’s over the last couple of months, heard Jack-all from either company despite being told otherwise at interview, rather annoying.

Hey up Northern Tech,

Not good to hear that pal. Was one for DB at all. Nothing worse than waiting for that email to drop into your inbox or not knowing if successful or not. Close to two weeks now and not heard anything even though the manager interviewing me said he had a couple more to do and would hear within two weeks. Looks like I'm as you and others and just having to wait.

Fingers crossed you hear something soon though. They do say no news is good news

Thank you mate I was really pleased to pass the psychometrics. As for the DMI I’ve not heard anything yet regarding a possible date for it. Just checking my emails daily at the moment. Hopefully I should hear something soon. As for you mate I wish you well and I hope you get good news following your interview.

 

[God]

So just got an email for a medical appointment. Had my interview last month and I'm absolutely buzzing.
