London Midland Trainee Senior Conductor Roles

[warriorofrovac]

I believe that invitations to testing days for the Trainee Senior Conductor jobs have been sent out now. I certainly received one.

On the original application form, we were asked to rank the five locations in the order in which we'd want to work in them - does this mean that there are vacancies at each of the five locations? if so, does anyone in the know, know exactly how many vacancies are going?

On the email it says that we'd be doing the tests, but not the role play. Does anyone know exactly how the LM recruitment for conductors works? I imagine if they are asking people to come to Birmingham for a testing day, then they presumably aren't going to ask you to come back multiple times for -testing, then role play, then interview, then medical..?

I think it's exactly the same to be honest. It's completely relevant.

yea mate to true , the situations are the same in every way ,i had every type of scenario happen when i was on the trains , you cant do 10 years and not eh

thing is this time they introduced a refer a friend type scheme , and im lucky that i have many friends still on the job in very decent positions who willingly put their name down for me as a referee but still did not get me through the sift

odd process i must admit

i interviewed well last time my feedback was really positive but due to not scoring well on one question i didnt make it , which i accepted

id just like a chance

saying that shouldnt we get a your unsuccessful email/letter aswell though

hmmm

If you didn't get through, and last time you only just missed out due to one question...I do not rate my chances highly at all.

be positive mate , last time there were very few positions (12 i think ) so the margin for getting through was very small and your taking hundreds of applicants

if you pass the assessment you will get an interview , i like to have that chance again as i think there's more positions this time

im gutted tbh

but good luck to you
