For those who have had their MI, was there much difference in questions asked compared to the telephone interviews?
Congratulations and good luck! If you don’t mind me asking, which Depot have you applied for?
Thank you v much. Never applied to such a thing before. I put down both Doncaster and Leeds as its an hour both for me.

Was also wondering this, is it again the STAR technique of competency based questions?

The majority of Qs were competency based and STAR technique is a good way to answer. There was a couple of “why” and “what” Qs also but nothing unexpected.

Only thing to say really is it is very formal so dont let that knock you.Im sure you done better than what you think mate - Mine is today.

Hope it went well for you both! I felt exactly the same after my interview, it is particularly hard to gauge when virtual I feel. Think we have applied for the same Depot so good chance interviewers were the same.

Hopefully you don’t have a long wait! It was just short of 2 weeks for me, guess depends how many interviews are happening at the moment.

Well I had my Teams interview today (applied for NCL). Bit more in depth than the first one in April, but quite similar style. Should find out in a couple of weeks

I was never given the number to ring buddy, similar happened to myself and I went off the earliest time which was correct. Are the times near to each other? Best of luck with the interview

Does anyone know the LNER recruitment telephone number? I have a Microsoft teams interview tomorrow and I have been given 2 different times and despite emailing multiple times I have not recieved a reply.
Have you tried emailing the lady called Natalie who sent the invitation rather than the recruitment email?. That looks like a direct email rather than a generic.
I have mine tomorrow too.
Good luck

Good luck to all those who have their interviews coming up.
has anyone been told they’re on the planned Course in January as yet? If so, have you had a medical date booked in?

My interview was at the later time. I deduced that the Microsoft teams interview calendar is back by 1 hour.
My audio didn't work but camera did. They apparently had a few interviews with technical issues. So they called me on phone instead with camera engaged.
I did email the Natalie email address but it was an automated email that she was on annual leave.
Anyway, at least from my perspective the interview went well. I hope they felt the same.
Thank you for the best wishes and good luck to you Coopes.

I’ve had mine now so it’s just a waiting game.
Although it is more formal than the telephone interview I still felt at ease with the 3 interviewers.
Hopefully hear back in a week.
