Hi I have my assessment day tomorrow scheduled and I'm pretty nervous about what to expect. I have examples of competency answers but the role play/scenario is an unknown territory. I would appreciate any input

Sorry for the lack of replies, I don't login that often. Regarding my position as operations officer which I got the offer in January, I'm still waiting for medical and start date, I have been in touch a few times - last one in may - just told I'm still being vetted and could take 6 months, 6 months is now coming so we shall see, don't know if anyone else is still waiting?
Regarding the interview and video there's not a great deal to say or worry about my experience was very good I found it to be fine if you use your common sense and demonstrate some life experiences - there's no trick questions -
Anyway I can't wait to start something new and looking forward to the challenge.

Hey guys I hope you’re all well.
I done my interview on the 01/08/2024 at the palestra house.
I had an email from TfL today 02/08/2024 stating that my application will be withdrawn because I did not bring the right documentation with me ( is been checked before I done the interview) it was all fine.
After not even 2 minutes I got an another email stating that I wasn’t successful I did not pass the benchmark for the role.
How long does TFL takes to get back to you!? On the job application it says 10-14 days is it any way I can ask them to double check the outcome!?

Hey there ! would you be able to share some light on possible questions or any other tips ? I'm trying to work with job description but it's quite vague plus there is not much across the web regarding this assessment , I got mine in 4 days !

Same here. Vetting is taking forever, I’m worried about the medical is there a process such as having certain bmi? Also is there a bleep test do you reckon

It sounds like there is something wrong here - I've been vetted for military jobs up to NATO Secret level and it only took a week.

Was it a verbal offer or did it come in writing (email or post)? Is there the name of an actual person you can speak to? Ask them direct questions to find out what's going on.
