Northern Maintenance Depot Driver Heaton Depot - Newcastle

[Mark Heathcote]

Thanks much appreciated ! And I am new to all this forum carry on so still working out how to get the full use of it, and what is MMI ? And what does that consist of thanks again.

You don’t have any links by any chance or sort of point me in the right direction on threads etc thanks again.

MMI is a competency based interview where you’ll first be asked to write down times when you demonstrated certain behaviours “tell me about how you reacted in an emergency situation?” etc. From memory there are 5/6 scenarios.

If you got through the driver interview though you’ll be fine just use same technique. What was situation, what did you do, what actions you took and what was outcome. If you search MMI in the threads you should find some other info.

After you’ve wrote them down you then get an interview with one of the assessors about your answers. The MMI usually lasts between 60-90 minutes but unlike the driver interview I found they prompt you more to elaborate on some areas if you’ve not given them enough. They really do try to help.

congratulations on getting your interview.
they'll likely be asking you competency-based questions relating to skills which are relevant for the job. e.g. tell me a time you followed rules and procedures.

I've applied for the same role and mine is marked "end of process" and I haven't been emailed so presumably I haven't been successful but I've emailed HR to find out.

Excellent thank you
I'm going to read up on Northern as they always ask what do you know about the company...
