Got an email today inviting me to an interview next week, anybody else heard from them?

Hi mate,
Had an email yesterday too, inviting me for interview. Didn't know they were looking to recruit 12 trainees though, very encouraging. Got my interview on Wednesday. Best of luck to you mate, and anyone else currently in the mix.

Hi, for anyone who is interested I had my interview today, felt it went ok, but we'll see, keep thinking of things I should have said and things I missed out, but nothing I can do now.

Anyway, I asked the interviewing guys how many trainees they are looking for and they said they had had 1600 applicants and there are around 30 vacancies available, said they are setting 4 trainees a month on at the end of each month. They want enough drivers by December 2017 when I believe they will be getting some new trains.

Also, interview very laid back, must have asked 6-8 situation based questions amongst others. Should know the outcome in 7-10 working days (so about 2 weeks).

Fingers crossed!

Well done mate, another stage out of the way! Got mine tomorrow morning. I think it's natural to think you could have said more, but if you did your best then that's all you can do. Going to be a lonnnnnng 2 weeks now

Aww mate, I'm so sorry for ya, don't give up and try not to let it get you down, use it to push back on and improve next time, you will make it eventually. I was one of the lucky ones this time
