I mentioned that I read parts of it to understand what a signaller does and understand the terminology. This helped improve my confidence for the interview as you...

    I would listen to the guys already working here and that have been through the course. It may or may not have helped me to get the job but for me the journey is just beginning.

    Too be fair with you it is true what the guys say. As long as you show a keen interest you will be fine.

    A career as a signaller

    The internals I went up against did not have signalling experience at the assessment centre as they were from other areas or just worked on the railway. Not sure about for the grade 7 position though. When I went to my interview I had a lot of knowledge through talking to the helpful people on...

    Let’s leave the sarcy comments for Facebook and other chat rooms mate. The intention was to boost his confidence as I myself felt like him during the application process. Plugging away thinking I was never gonna get it because you were competing against internals as well as other like minded...
