Does anyone know if there is a limit of how many times you can apply for a role at Northern within a certain period? I was rejected at interview stage back in March time, which jolted my confidence at first. But I would like to try again when the next role comes up. I know some employers prevent you applying for a certain period of time

6 months with Northern.

Just wondering where abouts it says that I applied for a conductor role about 5 minthe ago but failed the online assessment just applied again and got my assessment which I probably failed but no where in the application or rejection email it says 6 months so I'm confused

Depends if the previous job was driver as they are separate to customer service roles such as guards also normally ticket office staff are separate to guards but almost always within the TOCs roles a minimum 6 month wait and on any rejection email/letter will be the 6 month rule shown.

After I failed a test down in Doncaster in the interview to tell me I’d failed I was told that I couldn’t reapply for 6 months for any Northern position.

Still unsure if its certain stages or certain roles both of mine are conductor but only on the online stage I did previously apply for a driver roll before my first conductor assessment and didn't get past the sift. Just don't want it to back fire if a miracle happens and I do pass this online stage

Can’t answer for Northern specifically, however, a lot of TOCs say you can’t apply for the same job within 6-months, but different jobs are okay.

I went for driver and failed so it may just be pertinent to drivers that you can't re-apply for 6 months.
