    A career as a signaller

    When I recieved my invitation for interview, I just rang up the recruitment team who emailed the local LOM, who then emailed me back within 15 minutes saying I could come to his box for a visit at any time. And to just let him know so he could let the signaller on duty know. Contact the...

    Ouch, 9 month from start to finish! The wait for the invite to interview strongly backs up judo chops mates 4 month wait then haha! I’m currently with hire managers for 10 different roles, was starting to feel a little deflated after getting to the 10 week mark - coming from the most impatient...

    Ahh I’m with you, that seems reasonable in all honesty. My “source” also said that the total number of applicants invited for interview is 5, however apparently it can vary depending on the particular manager preference. I must say 5 is quite a small number really when the number of applicants...

    Ohh I see, Maybe I have been misinformed? So what makes the difference between a position posted external from internal do you know?

    Well done on the interview.. and good luck for it :) What I’m told is that the jobs get offered internally first... and if there is no internal interest then the position is posted externally.. so I’m assuming there are no internal applicants for the externally placed jobs anyways! Out of...
