    Virgin Trains Recruitment

    As what's already been said. Don't forget that the moment you start putting writing your application you are being tested. If they ask for a CV you supply a CV. It's all about following orders and to see if you can do what you are told. If it says write all in capitals then you do it, if it...

    Interview Monday!

    Sounds like your colleague is being rather selfish and what's the job for themself ha ha. My DMI lasted over an hour, I had 8 competence questions, questions about myself and like a 10-15 minute period for me to just tell them anything I alre day knew or researched about the company. It's all...

    I hope it's not normal. It's because I started apply for a shunter position and then train driver. Kind of. I gave answers like how it surprised me that I remained calm in that situation. How you felt proud and that you learnt something etc

    Then there was a good 6 month gap l, maybe more, between MMI and DMI. The DMI was a lot more relaxed in nature, but more pressure. Essentially asking the same questions as the MMI in terms of examples. For the MMI be prepared for a lot of 'How did that make you feel?' Questions at the end of...

    For me however there was a good 4-5 month gap between my two assessment centre days. Luckily they let me read my notes I had written on the first day before talking about them, and was allowed to talk about something else if I had thought of anything better.

    Thank you. I'm not sure in what order you have done things. On my first day of assessment centre, one of the last things i had to do was write down about 7 examples of when I have done something e.g. shown competence. These were going to be the examples I had to expand on for my MMI.
