    irony....? There's a big difference between being confident and "cocky"......you wasn't present. Just because i say i was confident half of you presume I was "cocky"........forget that argument. I explained this too, but you don't read the full story before making remarks. would it have...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    i presume you mean me by this...but again you have not read my posts.... I sailed through the interview, probably the bet interview i have ever attended. My past experiences are very impressive for the role of train driver. The vibe i got t the end was about the next stage, etc..... i was...

    yep have that by the spade full. The guy venting didn't read my replies.....i ever said i was entitled to anything i said on the basis of answering on the questions, my past experiences etc i failed to see how I didn't score very high...so it's based on other criteria as well...next time take...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    yes it maybe be points based but they score it...so it is there "opinion." i can't get over how they gave me the impression I was coming back for the next stage, like they knew i had scored enough...then I "fail" My gut was a very strong "I did more than enough to at least get to the next...

    no that was 100% fine.....no-one else around, nothing wrong said, done etc...100% sure on that. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- if it was 100% objective based on points off the questions then the only thing is i didn't answer some of the questions as well as I thought i did...but i...

    ok but say you did get through to the interview you gave your best real life examples to the questions, you thought it went very well, then they say "sorry..that failed.." Try again? Different examples next time? --- old post above --- --- new post below --- but my point is.....they say it's...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    That's how i feel as well without being cocky. If i couldn't pass it on what I talked with them about last week, i.m.h.o. nothing is going to good enough. if i failed on pure points system on my experiences/skills/ etc....then i see no point in re-applying. I'd say exactly the same things...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    yes......good point. 100 into 20....something has to give. BUT if it was based on a pure points system....that should have made no difference? 1 or 100 . wonder how they score points for such questions? Pretty tricky to keep it uniform? One guy loves your example 4 points. Another thinks it's...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    ok i know they say this...but i don't believe it. Like i said every question was answered from real life experiences (armed forces.real life emergencies, taking charge, etc..) and not one question stumped me. They even commented on how impressive it all was. Even talking about the tests they...

    Northern Trainee Drivers

    Yeah me too and i am actually shocked about it. The interview went about as well as i could have wanted....they even said they were impressed and talking about the next stages, etc... I was about 99% sure I was through to the next stage..but no. Even now i am shaking my head in disbelief. Half...

    Maybe this isn't for me?

    Maybe this isn't for me?

    You didn't actually think about all this at the interview? There's a reason they ask you thee questions..not just to pass.
