Hi all! I have my interview this week, any advice? This is an amazing opportunity so I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous!
Just relax and take a breath. Answer all the questions that they ask and they will make.sure you are at ease. Don't worry if your only 15 minutes or 25 minutes it will take as long as you need.
Hi!
New to the forum, I passed the assessments and then had the telephone interview on the 28th March, interviewer said I would hear back via email whether or not it was a pass or fail...its been coming up to 4 weeks now with no news. I wonder if this is purely down to the recruitment team all working from home and it being difficult to manage?

I think the fact that people in week 1 of interviews were told we would hear in 4 weeks, and it seems that in week 3 of interviews, the same or similar message is being given, we could still be in for a bit of a wait. Completely understandable if they are interviewing as many people as we all assume they are.

Yeah, I had mine on the 24th (3 weeks ago on Tuesday) and was told 4 weeks. Like people have already said, interviews are ongoing and people are being told 4 weeks so just case of wait and see.

I had my interview yesterday and was told 4 weeks... I’m guessing it won’t be till after all interviews are finished. Last interviews were tomorrow I think...

We were told we will hear either way and i was told they were hoping four weeks but could be longer with the virus so everyone should be patient, just a waiting game.
Tomorrow is the end of week 3 for those who had their interviews at the beginning of week 1, making next week their week 4.

looks like it! Haha
Interviews did start on the 30th, it's a bit strange that people have apparently had interviews before that...

Had mine yesterday. The lady was lovely, and said that they compare everyone's score before deciding who gets through. So guess we won't hear until the last of the interviews are done.

Apologies, my interview was the 31st, not the 24th as previously stated.

Even if you had your interview on the 28th it isn't approaching 4 weeks yet! I thought we all needed a GCSE in maths for this application!
I really didn't think it would be such an issue. All I said was for anyone who had their interview early, next week was approaching the 4 weeks, but I doubt given the advice those being interviewed now are getting, any news will be coming any time soon. My maths are as below:
30th - 5th week 1
6th - 12th week 2
13th - 19th week 3
20th - 26th week 4
That makes next week the end of the 4 weeks for those who had their interview on 30th.
But my point was that they (including myself) would probably not hear anything for some time yet. Be patient, with everything going on, the news will get to us whenever it gets to us. Good luck to anyone who has got this far.

Hi guys,
I had my interview on 1 April and it lasted about 20 minutes. The interviewer was quite helpful and made it easy going.
She said I will hear back in 4 weeks. I think because of Easter holidays and the whole Corona situation it may be longer.
I’ve already passed the psychometric tests and I’m waiting to start with another TOC, but I couldn’t pass on applying for LNER.
Hopefully it’s good news.
Good luck to everyone on here

I don’t doubt that I did have my interview before the 30th.
I doubt four weeks is a fixed time, I'm sure it just means once we've whittled through everyone and gotten around to it. I know I'm one of many counting the days until we hit the four week mark, but for now we wait. It's worse than usual as there isn't a whole lot else to be doing right now!

I found it amusing like something off the apprentice
Weirdly found some of the DM interviews much harder though they vary massively
Almost sitting down on the interviewers chair is never a good start. The note taker sits next to the interviewer!
