Haha I love your optimism! I'll let you know how it goes, let's hope it goes ok. And I also hope you guys get your DMI dates soon!!

 

[jonthetaxi]

I received my date, next Thursday 11th.

 

[Bobbybox]

How long after your stage 2 did you get a date @johnthetaxi

 

[jonthetaxi]

Hey Bobbybox, done stage 2 on the 12/5 and received my letter on 29/5. 17 days later.
Were you at Watford on the 12th?

We're waiting with baited breath Gary!
How did it go?

 

[Bobbybox]

No the 18th guess I should wait a little longer

 

[Garyjames1701]

All done! Felt good and they seemed happy with my answers but will have to wait and see how it goes! Hoping to find out by the end of the week.

 

[jonthetaxi]

Well done mate!

Well done mate! Was there any surprises in the questions asked? Lot of difference between this one and the MMI?

No real surprises, just a get to know you interview with a set of common sense based questions. I recommend researching to company and their goals / future projects. Also, think of an occasion where it has been important for you to maintain a high level of concentration for a long period of time. They also ask you to give examples of when you have to follow rules and procedures.

You should be fine, just relax and take your time

Hi I also applied for Bedford

I've been told the courses start September. Waiting on confirmation of start date now

Very excited

I do hope its sooner, when I spoke to recruitment there was possibly a start date in July for Bedford I do need to phone in at some point this month to notify them of my new address.

Just want to get out the job I am in now and start my new career

I have my DMI today at 1330 in London! Getting nervous now. Those waiting for a start date, how long after the DMI does it take to find out if you passed or not? Also, do you know how much notice you'll be given to quit your existing jobs?

Best of luck mate. I heard back 40 minutes after the interview.

However, I think it varies quite a lot.

As for notice, they asked me. I was able to give my employer 2 weeks notice because I didn't want to do it before passing the medical.

Thanks mate. The interview went really well but I was the last candidate and the managers went home afterwards, I walked out with them! They said I'd find out by the end of the week

 

[Bucko]

Just got home from mine today. They said theyre very busy, I may find out same day, if not, by end of week.

Fingers crossed. Its always difficult to read into how an interview went

Good luck! I had mine on Tuesday and found out I passed yesterday via email! Chuffed to bits to have made it this far

 

[Bobbybox]

Did they give you a start date mate@garyjames ?

 

[jonthetaxi]

Congratulations Gary, so which depot are you going to and when do you start?

 

[Garyjames1701]

Thanks guys! No start date as yet, but the next lot of courses begin in September so hopefully I'll be starting around then! No idea on depots but I've told them that my preferred depot would be Peterborough, followed by Cambridge and Hitchin! Now to wait for a medical / start date but so glad to get this far

 

[joeynova27]

Congrats. I am also hoping for a September start date. Exciting times ahead

 

[Bobbybox]

[Amex88]

Had my interview today

 

[Bobbybox]

How did you find it and what stuff did they ask ?

 

[Amex88]

Found it to be really good. They were real friendly. Just asked about myself bwhat I enjoy doing. About my past and current career, why I want to be a driver, what I think makes a good driver and also what qualities I have.

Anyone else get an email inviting them to a line manger interview today, then click on the link and nothing there? Must be a glitch on the system my application still says submitted April 22nd and doesn't give me any options to book dates or times etc.
