Oh nice! ....I guess. If I keep knocking on the door then perhaps one day someone will *profanity* answer! Here we go again!

Oh and by the way, thankyou very much to all the trolls who insisted that, "No news is good news!" Had many of us holding our breaths for months and for what? Nothing!

That's it then. Everyone who hadn't heard back since Nov 17 just got binned off today and then the cheeky you-know-whats have gone and re-advertised the same job. Only this time we can't apply for it because it won't be 6 months until May.

That is interesting. How long until those of us who got binned from the Nov 17 application can try again?

Same. I'm out.

Lol! I'm not suggesting that it was random. I'm just saying that maybe what we thought they were looking for isn't actually what they are looking for. Or it was a mistake. Or there was aome favouritism here. Perhaps. It could well be that they just care about a handful of things. Maybe they...

Could be a troll, yes. But what if it's true? Let's say it is true. Then that could mean a number of things. Possible reasons why he got called for assessment: - They meant to place him in the 'email a no pile' but accidentally put him into the 'email yes for assement pile'. - The people...

So much for 'no news is good news'. The amount of speculation on the recruitment process is staggering. Nobody here has any facts or proof of anything.

I was in the RAF for three and a half years myself. Just getting in took about a year but unlike with the trains they actually need more people and just being fit puts you at a huge advantage. I know a girl who left the RAF to work for Scotrail. My advise is to not start applying to jobs until...

Oftentimes it's the ones who approach certain jobs thinking that its easy who end up struggling the hardest.

I applied for this on Saturday morning last week and got binne on Tuesday. I'm only 30mins from Paddington so I'm wondering if it was the questionnaire that I failed on.

Hmm... I haven't heard anything back yet either. Although I also applied to GWR last weekend and got binned for that one on tuesday. I live about 30 mins away from Paddington (GWR) and Waterloo (SWR). Anybody know what sort of things get you binned aside from location? I really wasn't sure...
