This is the kind of inaccurate reply that you give to a guy asking for advice on his MMI? So wrong with what you are saying. Firstly, you are given a sheet of paper with questions, you get 25mins to write a short answer without going into too much detail. Thats it. Once you have written your...

As far as I can remember most of the questions in the SJE are not just about safety. If you are just going to approach these questions with a 'safety first' attitude then you are in for a shock. This whole test is designed so they can try to understand your way of thinking and to get a better...

Firstly, you need to mentally prepare yourself for this interview, there are gonna be two of them asking you questions and potentially trying to make you feel uncomfortable so its very important to remain calm and to try not to show them your nerves. Its maybe also worth getting your family or...

So in 2014 I failed at the 1st stage of psychometric tests at the assessment centre, in 2015 I passed all the assessment stages and amazingly I was offered a position as a trainee. Unfortunately, after a telephone discussion with the recruitment department it had emerged that there was a...

Firstly Senshi, very well done to you mate, you are doing brilliantly!!!! Im glad you have grabbed this opportunity with both hands and even coming on here and sharing your story will no doubt give others (who are currently in the same position you were in) a bit of hope. You have gave lots of...

The practice material helped me massively and seems to help others massively aswell but I suppose everyone is different. Yes, you are looking at two different "race tracks" whilst doing the practice material but its not two different excercises, its one. Doing the practice material is more...

Would be interesting to know the exact recruitment figures in the end. Im sure there are plenty folk on here in the know but a manager at a freight company (who shall remain nameless) told me there was a total of 40 jobs in the end and 11 of those were filled by DB Schenker drivers. If the...

Cant seem to get in? What does that mean? Nobody can help you get passed the sift & assessments, no matter who you know, thats down to you and you alone, once you pass that then its a different ball game........as for your friends dad, does he have any influence with his bosses? Would they put...

Didnt you get practice material sent to you in an email? If so then print out multiple copies of it and practice that everyday with a pen in both hands at the same time.....if I was you I would forget about xbox controllers & etch a sketch. The practice material is adequate enough to practice...

Ive heard of it still existing to a certain degree in some places but nothing can be done unless you manage to get past the initial sift & ofcourse the assessments on your own merit, then "friends in high places" can certainly recommend you or "pull a few strings" with the recruitment...

Alot of it comes down to the DBS freight drivers, they were all at least guaranteed an interview, some drivers failed that, other drivers plain and simply didnt want to go to Scotrail for various reasons while some drivers have. To be fair I think HR have had a difficult job on their hands to...

Are you talking about previous advertising campaigns or this one in particular? There have been applicants in the past (like you said) that passed everything, heard nothing for months......not even being given the courtesy and told about being on a reserve list or in the talent pool or...

Have to agree with what everyone here have said, defo dont waste your money......use this forum, do alot of research & build up your own little information booklets.......that worked 4me

I sat my MMI last week and it went really well, we spent maybe 8mins or so on each question & even at the end she was happy to go through some of my tests results to give me as much feedback as possible. Happy to say that I passed but she did say to me you were a little bit nervy but we as a...

I dont think your arrogant, far from it, I just dont understand people who come on here and post saying that they have this qualification or that qualification for a job that realistically only requires an 'average' standard of education. A few of my friends have degrees but work in (really...

One of the guys at my 2nd stage assessments last week was Perth whilst the other three of us were Glasgow area...

At the end of my MMI last week the interviewer was kind enough to tell me a few of my assessment scores and she also mentioned that she was very impressed with my application form, she said it stood out. I was extremely flattered when she said that. I dont have a degree.

If I was you I would do some research into your local depot aswell as a bit on Perth or Edinburgh. Some people have been asked about depots in their interviews whereas others havent so its a bit of a lottery but I would prepare for that anyway. There is no harm in "pestering" a station as you...

To be honest I wouldnt personally use customer service as an answer to that particular question, I would use a more solid "hands on" example if I had one.

Dont think Transport Scotland have much of a plan B if things start to go pear shaped to be honest, just throw more of the taxpayers money at it no doubt
