Thanks for your answer.
Well done passing the assessments. Now the long wait begins.
Spoke with a guy yesterday and he was having his DMI interview , he’s done he’s assessment 2 years ago. So it’s definietly not a fast process.
Colleague of mine done his assessments in last May then had the first interview in November , second in December and started his training in the beginning of February.
So it’s not a really consistent waiting period.
I’ll look around the forums for more information about possible interview questions, but if you could send me your list I highly appreciate that.
Also just seen a book an eBay “ Train Driver Manager interview questions & answers “ its only £15. Not too sure if it’s worth it though , or just better if I prepare by myself.
Are you internal or external candidate ?
I'm an external candidate and I suspect that the reason the others you mention are only just getting their interviews etc now, is in some way related to the fact that the franchise changed hands last August.
This is the list of questions that I compiled from various places - although I'm sure there are a few more that aren't on it!
1. Why do you want to join the company?
2. Why do you think that you are suitable for the job?
3. What do we do in this company?
4. What is the geographical range of our service?
5. Describe a time when you have dealt with a problem
6. Tell me about a time when you have had to deal with a problem with your line manager asking you to do something you disagreed with
7. Tell me about your skills in an emergency situation
8. What do you think is your biggest achievement?
9. Have you ever had to work on your own for long periods of time? How did you deal with this?
10. Give me an example of when you have stayed calm in a pressure situation
11. Are you good at following rules and regulations?
12. Tell me about a time when you learnt a new skill
13. Can you tell me about your organisational skills
14. Give an example when you've assisted a member of the public
15. How do you cope with stress?
16. How do you cope with fatigue?
17. Have you had to undertake studying for something before?
18. Tell me about a time that you have worked as part of team
