London Midland assessment day

[350231]

Has anyone who attended the assessments in Birmingham this week heard if they have passed or not?

 

[desirokma]

Was gonna ask the same thing. I went this week in Birmingham and still heard nothing back hopefully will be today or tomorrow as I think assessments are still going ahead. Good luck btw

I have a friend who is pally with one of the staff at 102 new st, and her other half has applied as well. She told me according to the bloke at head office that people will hear early next week, Monday or Tuesday. Good luck!

We were told we would hear within 2-3 days when I went Tuesday with a view to do interviews next Monday and Tuesday.

I was told the exact same.

Does anyone know how many positions overall are available?

 

[Komma]

Just got a call from London Midland saying I had passed and could I attend an interview on Monday.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I have been told that there are 22 vacancies to fill.

What day was your assessment centre Komma?

Monday morning 10.15

 

[warriorofrovac]

It is possible then, if the Monday bunch heard today, then the Tuesday bunch might hear tomorrow.

Lets hope so warrior friend mine was Tuesday and not heard anything yet. Do you know if they would let you know how you did if you we're unsuccessful?

Well, if you failed the assessment centre, we only get one other shot at it six months later, so I should hope they tell us what, where, why and how we failed. Don't want to make the same mistake six months later.

If people are being contacted now for interviews, hopefully others will post here soon saying they got an unsuccessful phonecall/email.

I'm wondering, since we had to pick five locations, and there are apparently 22 vacancies..does that mean about four vacancies per location...?

I had mine on Tuesday too and I've not heard anything yet.

 

[MKN86]

Would say not definitely so as some locations will have more services out of them than others. How many people would you think they will interview? I'm thinking each interview will typically last around 30minutes minimum, so over two days they won't be able to do that many

 

[warriorofrovac]

Depends if it is only two days of interviews though!

They'd be very pushed for time if it was only 2 days worth of interviews. Would 2 days even be possible if there are 22 positions?

 

[Komma]

I have been told that the interview will take 1 hour.

 

[warriorofrovac]

What were your choices of location Komma?

I think she said that the assessment that they were prioritizing certain vacancies

hi guys
i went through the process at the last recriutment , im trying this time aswell
but i still havent heard much i didnt recieve a email saying id passed the sift

however ive called and mailed them ( im quite keen ) and ive been advised since i have a valid assesment day pass i will hear when they process the next stage , they also advised that they have a massive amount of applicants and still havent finished

22 vacancies seems quite low to me due to the size of the campain ?

plus i think they maybe doing the assesments / interviews in stages via areas

at my last interview there were ALOT of people , they held it in milton keynes

the interviews are quite long as said and structured so you will be scored on each answer you give

sorry for any spelling mistakes and grammer errors im at work doing a sneeky write up

maybe if we all say what area we have gone for it may give us an idea what areas they have done/doing

ive gone for northampton/bletchley

 

[Komma]

What were your choices of location Komma?

My first choice is Watford, as I live 5 minutes away. If I didn't get offered Watford, then I would turn it down.
I currently work on the platforms at Euston for Virgin and would be on the same money.

 

[warriorofrovac]

My choices;

Location preference 1 Birmingham Snow Hill
Location preference 2 Birmingham New Street
Location preference 3 Crewe
Location preference 4 Northampton
Location preference 5 Watford

 

[cobbler]

good luck guys , everything is won and lost on the interview

Good luck everyone

 

[350231]

From what I am told people who attended the assessment yesterday will hear sometime next week how they got on.

 

[warriorofrovac]
