GTR Trainee Drivers Hornsey/ Cricklewood

[Cavey81]

Passed my assessment and now have a MMI to look forward to.
That was tough and I am so glad I did lots of practice.

Have you heard anything on dates for DMI/MMI yet? I passed the assessment in early Feb too but not heard anything....

No mate I have not, but they are very busy.

Have you tried to contact anyone?

Hi,
I passed my assessment on the 31st January and got my DMI date arranged a few days after... perhaps contact them to find out what's happening. Is this the first time you've gone through the assessment stages?

Yes it's the first time. What date is your DMI?

 

[Rachael92]

Likewise, very nervous for the interviews. It's booked in for early March, I had a choice of two dates as well but I wanted as much preparation as I could get. What depot have you applied for?

I applied for Hornsey. How about you? Just want to get the interviews done now.

I passed the assessments on the 30th of January, The only correspondence I’ve had since then was to fill out a HPI questionnaire in preparation for the interviews. I know someone that sat the assessments on the 23rd of January, who is sitting their DMI today.

 

[Rachael92]

I applied for Cricklewood. Must be frustrating waiting around but hopefully you hear something soon.

Hi guys, I applied for Hornesy and only got a email this morning to complete a situational test and then onto SCAAT if successful.

Does anyone have any tips for me on the situational judgement test for now ?

 

[Class315]

Spoke too soon, Just got a call booked in for early March.

It's pretty simple and mostly common sense, just remember to put safety first. Good luck!

I received an email

In preparation for your upcoming Line Manager Interview we would like you to complete The Hogan Personality Inventory (Safety Report) personality assessment (HPI)..

I thought as much 'Safety is Key'

Thanks for the reply

I've done the personality assessment and was pretty straight forward, just be honest and I'm sure you will be fine

Line Manager Interview is this the same as the DMI or is it the MMI ??

Line manager is dmi.

 

[1812_s]

guys is there somewhere i can see an example of the situational test. I know it will be a common sense excercise and based on safety but it never hurts to be over prepared.

 

[ESONEULB]

Line manager is dmi.

Thank you

 

[Rachael92]

Yeah the line manager interview is just with a driver manager and hr. When we research the toc do we research GTR or thameslink?

Best of luck mate, hopefully we all pass and make the grade.

Research a bit of both, but mainly the line you are on so thameslink.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Have you had your DMI before then?

Thank you, I appreciate it. Have you had your DMI before then?

Yes with thameslink, and they were impressed with my homework, but failed on structured questions, but am starting as a trainee driver with another toc in three weeks.

What toc are you starting with? Have you got any tips or suggestions? Really worried about the interviews as I've read how strict they are with the answers you provide?

Arriva rail london. Difficult as i failed first one, the tell us a time questions have to be real examples of what you did, most people say to use star technique, situation, task, action, result. I forgot that and did not consciously use it. I learnt a lot about the line, how many stations, and quoting important ones, such as luton airport and gatwick airport. I learnt the traction types, the thameslink programme, such as lengthening stations, rebuilding london bridge etc. Having said all that i did the same things in both dmi's and one i failed and one i passed, so it is hard to know what works. Maybe i wore the wrong socks for thameslink.

Well good luck with training. Thanks for all the information as it certainly helps. I think I'm just going to prepare as much as I can and hope I wear the right socks
