It's possible, but in English comprehension there is a big difference between "We have now completed all the interviews for the Junior Driver position" and "We have now completed all of the interviews for the Junior Driver position(s) at Toton". I know which email I would have sent.

That may be so, but Stigy stated JD role - which isn't the same.

Erm... the one I mentioned earlier about not being progressed which I received on Wednesday. Just for clarity here it is (complete with poor spelling and grammar). Love the bit at the end encouraging me to look out for other roles... Good Afternoon ***** Thank you for your email We have now...

That's interesting considering the email I received from DB states :"We have now completed all the interviews for the Junior Driver position". I've no reason to disbelieve you Stigy so maybe it's just as well I didn't progress with DB. Who would want to work for a company that deliberately lies...

I'm inclined to agree.

I've previously subscribed to various threads over the last few years based on my previous train driver applications. 2012 London Midland - Didn't pass papersift 2014 DB Shenker - Passed OPC assesment only to have DB pull the plug on recruitment based on the downturn in coal. 2015 GTR - I was in...

Yes, today after I enquired about the status of my application last week. I initially enquired in October as I was out of the country for a fortnight and might not receive any notifications that may require some action on my part. I got a response straight away saying that they were continuing...

I didn't want to post here as I wanted to see how this panned out first, but now I've received that "Thanks but No thanks email today, this was my experience". I interviewed for this role last September at Toton. It started off well when Gary introduced himself and calling me Paul (which isn't...

If a job becomes available at all. There are no guarantees. There were quite a few of us held in a talent pool for two years with GTR before being told there was no job - and "best of luck for the future".

I'd start looking elsewhere. I was in GTR's talent pool for two years, getting fobbed off with "we'll give you a call when have a course to offer you". Two years down the line and I get an email (along with 6 others cos - GTR decided to share our email addresses :-0) stating that they were no...

Ah that's right. I just looked up a PM we had. Well congratz on getting through (eventually).

Yeah I'm good. Been lurking on and off for a while since the GTR / Chiltern fiasco's but not had any reason to post much since I consider myself out of the game now. Did you sort anything out with GTR regarding relocation?

Wouldn't read too much into that. Mine too says "offer stage" from when I applied way back in 2015. The reality is I was dumped in a talent pool for two years then told last September that they were no longer recruiting for my chosen depot, I lived too far away to be considered for others and...

I dreamt I spent the last two years in a talent pool for nothing...oh, wait... :-)

I went straight to interview in May based on the strength of my application and previous assessment scores. I failed the DMI based on my score of 71% compared with the min pass mark of 85% My feedback was laughable - very nervous, inflexible and lacks ability to take charge of situations. I...

"Re -apply" assumes that there are current recruitment campaigns to apply for... and they they are in my commutable distance. Given my current experience of the process, it's not for me mate. The last 5 years has just served as a lesson in futility. I've been wanting to move on for ages now but...

Well it depends who you speak to and what their policy is for the time expiry of the assessment. 2012 - London Midland - failed paper sift 2014 - DBSchenker - Passed assessment to enhanced standard. Pulled the plug on recruitment due to the downturn in freight industry. 2015 - GTR -...

Based on my previous correspondence with GTR, it's nothing I wasn't expecting.

LOL... Well that's three years of my life I'll never get back... Subject: GTR Trainee Train Driver Talent Pool Update Dear Candidate, Thank you for patience while you have been awaiting news regarding our Talent Pool. As you are aware our network is undergoing some huge changes, including the...

Not quite right... it has to be a 'lawful' order and in line with the training you have received. EG, Officer orders me to put a loaded gun to my head and pull the trigger? It fails on both counts.
