I never had a telephone interview and I don't feel it is necessary... I was lucky as I got in with FGW as Conductor just before these telephone interviews started

If First don't win ScotRail the next company may not require it anyway

If first don't get Scotrail would I still have to wait the six months before applying for same position?

You have to wait 6 months for assessments, I am not sure a telephone interview would count??

I had the telephone interview with FCC and I think its their way of wittering down the applicants, its like the online questions, if they feel you haven't got the right skillset to begin with, then there is no point in taking it further, but a telephone interview is not as good in my opinion as a face to face interview, you cannot see who your are talking to, and its not as personal

First group are so harsh that even a failed telephone interview means a 6 month ban.

First were the best company I've worked of personally

What other rail companies have you worked for that you can compare first group to?

 

[Aivilo]

South west (conductor) London Underground (csa/ticket clerk) london midland (gate line) FGW
As stated its a personal thing. Didn't feel like a number hard work was rewarded and any issues were dealt with properly no blame games or in direct answers.
