I don't know why the southern side would want trainees. The southern depot is tiny.
Unless its being integrated

Hi gents,

I had my DMI today.

If successful (fingers crossed) how long would I be waiting for a medical?

Hi ml

No start dates were discussed. Only notice periods, and for which home depot i had applied.
I was told that HR would notify me if i had been successful or not, is that a good or bad thing?
Feeling more nervous after the interview than i did before it now.

was meant to be at 13:45 but I arrived half an hour early, they came down to get me a couple of minutes after I arrived.

With regards to the question "Have you previously applied for a Drivers role in the past 6 months and been unsuccessful at any stage of the recruitment process?" does anyone know if this applies to those who have failed a Driver Manager Interview?

The way it reads seems to suggest that however it would seem a bit odd that they wouldn't take someone who'd got a full set of assessment passes yet got a bit unlucky with a DMI.

Nothing in the post box for me this morning, I am pinning my hopes on the fact I live quite a way from London and my invite took a day longer than everyone elses! keeping everything crossed for 2 days!

Received my letter today confirming I made the talent pool. I guess it's just a matter of waiting now?
Alex you must have been the interview right after me. :)
Congrats by the way.

It would seem that anyone who has failed a DMI in the past 6 months isn't allowed to apply, amazing really since the other TOCs would likely invite anyone who has a full set of assessment passes and a decent application form to an interview.

Tempted to ask HR about it on Monday, I'm guessing it's the way the question is worded. They have, after all, put two different salaries down in the ad and added a 10 year old job profile document.

It was a bit weird because they had one question about failing the Stage 1 and Stage 2 assessments within the past 6 months and then a separate question about failing any part of the process within the past 6 months. Hopefully applications will still be open Monday night if I'm able to sort it with HR (I cannot apply unless they reset the form).

My letter says I will not do my medical until I'm allocated for training.

ml, I applied for Hitchin depot if you want to update that list.

Hi All

My first post on here. I had my DM interview this week and also got the good news letter this morning. Looks like there are a few of us in the talent pool now.
