Yes mate, I travelled from Swansea !I got a call today inviting me for an interview/assessment next Thursday (15th) . I have to go to Doncaster, is this normal? Its about a 4 hour Journey from where I live up to there.
Yes that's normal..... there is a nice premier inn at lakeside about a 15-20min walk from Doncaster carr assessment centreAh fair enough, I assume they just have the 1 assessment centre that covers the whole country then?

Atleast you’re that one step closer ! Hope it all went well mate, I’ve got my interview scheduled for when I get back which is an absolute god send and nice touch from them to move things around !That's a bit of a bugger Next stage is hurry up and wait again..
Definitely, it's a bugger of a ladder to climb, I'm hoping the top isn't far off! That's pretty cool of them to reschedule.Atleast you’re that one step closer !

Sorry to hear this. By interview are you talking about the MMI?Failed at interview stage today think I got my hopes up, thought I gave good examples to the questions but obviously not. Nevermind.
If it’s the interview after the assessments and not included in them, then it’s the DMI, however I’m not convinced I’m getting the right end of the stick. The MMI is part of the psychometric assessments (and subject to the two strike rule), whereas the DMI isn’t. Your two strikes is across the board for any and all TOCs or FOCs I’m afraid. The DMI is different and isn’t part of the assessments so you can have as many of these as you like for any number of companies.Yes, the interview they conduct after you have done the assessments. Is the 2 tries accross all rail companies or does it just apply to the 1 that I have already tried for (in this case DB)?
Lots to think about on the journey home, can always think of better answers to the questions after the interview!
Good luck for next time. Was it just that you slipped up on? You may find it’s easier to progress through a sift having passed most of the assessments!Ah ok, it was the MMI then, so first strike I guess.
I found it pretty hard to come up with situations that suited the questions that they were asking, back to the drawing board I guess, hopefully there is another recruitment drive within the next 6-12 months, atleast I know what to expect next time if I'm able to get through the paper-sift again.
They should be able to give feedback. In fact, they will be able to. Can’t think why they said they couldn’t? Admittedly it won’t be that in-depth though.Yes just the MMI, rest of it was all good. Shame they can't give any feedback on the MMI, but then I guess it would make it easier for next time.
I was surprised there was only 4 of us on the assessment, and 2 went home after the first set of tests, other person I was with was already a shunter with DB and said it was his second try, made me feel a little better when they said I'd failed!
The MMI you need to really sell yourself and give as much infomation across on your anwser as possible. If your steer of the question and start chatting waffle they also mark you down. Not sure if you was told about a Star method when answering your questions. SITUATION TASK ACTION RESULT. if you stick to this method you shouldn't have a problem providing you give enough Infomation in what there looking for. Better luck next time mate and all the best.The woman said she can't give feedback on the MMI as it would make it unfair for other potential candidates? I.e I would have an advantage if I applied again. She said I just needed to generally tailor my answers to the questions better, but couldn't go into any deeper detail than that.
Pretty disappointed, I didn't think the interview went that bad, obviously they didn't feel it was enough.
