Is that all they said to you? Never told you wether you were successful or not?

Nope still nothing, they just explained that it’s taken longer than expected and will “hopefully” get back to everyone at some point this week. I just felt that after people started finding out that would be it but it’s went quiet again.

Don’t be disheartened if you are placed in the holding pool guys, I was placed in it and and a month later was emailed to attend 3rd assessment. My advice would be keep practicing and preparing for the computer tests and MMI as it could be on you before you know it

4 weeks ago today ! Kind of thought this would happen tbh with all the people at interview for x amount of jobs! Just need to hope that something comes up again soon! People might fail the next stage and we might get called up ect

Same here. Not best pleased about it. Making us wait for 4 weeks to tell us we're good enough but don't have enough positions for us is terrible HR.

Will be interesting if anyone actually gets an email to attend a date for the part. Heard a while back that the people that scored high enough get the holding email and they then start arranging dates for the third assessment as it gives them a bit of time to pair those that passed dmi to the locations requiring the drivers. Not certain though.

I sat my interview on 14th March at 1030. And I’m in for Perth depot. Strange seeing that most people have had the same email, but none invited yet. Yeah I keep trying to tell myself that as well. Glad I’m not alone in the pool though haha. Well done yourself for getting through also :)

Thanks Railwayman13. Will keep doing just that. What is the best way you found to practice for the computer tests? Other than the paper copies?

My DMI was 14th March, not heard anything yet. Depots most likely Glasgow Central or Motherwell. Waiting is torture...
