Had an interview for a role and was told 10 working days for a reply, after 2 weeks I called and was told there still awaiting the outcome
From the managers and would call me the next day to let me know what's going on. Another 2 weeks has passed now and still haven't heard.

Shall I call again? Or just wait for them to contact me?

Thanks

Congratulations! :D

Thanks!

Got my medical at Friars bridge or whatever it's called on Tuesday next week, HR said they're sending me a travel voucher, I'm assuming that's just for SWT and not the bus/tube to get there as well?

Only assuming you work/have worked for swt?

Congratulations! as well

Out of interest what was the role for?

Was only entry level, RO2 station support staff. Gotta start somewhere.
Taken me just over a year of applying and getting turned down at interview to get an offer :)

Friars Bridge Court is only a 5 minute walk from Waterloo, there will be a map included with the travel voucher, you get a good view of the lines from Waterloo East/ Cannon Street as well.

Yes I did used to work for SWT, good employer as long as you do your job properly, I had to leave for personal reasons but I do miss the Company (not often you can say that ;)) and my former work colleagues.

Don't put yourself down, there would have been hundreds of applicants for this role but it was you that secured the job!

Oh okay cool.

Been trying for just over a year and finally got in. Have to pass the medical yet which I'm nervous about as my luck I will somehow fail. I don't drink, never taken any drugs and have a healthy lifestyle but still nervous!

Sort of nervous about when I do start how different things will be for me, been working in kitchens/hotels and restaurants until now so it's nice to finally get the change I've been looking for, 21 years old is a good age to start right? Haha

Have you seen the size of some train drivers?
If they can pass the medical you will breeze it!
I do agree that with it being the last hurdle it can make you nervous but it really is a simple medical and as long as you can stand up, breath, see and hear you will be fine.

Thankfully I can do all of the above.
Got my medical on Tuesday, wanted me to do it sooner but they couldn't get the letter to me in time apparently. Start date of 9th November, would like to know how long the training would be at baisingstoke before being fully trained and working.
