    Pre-Employment Discussion

    Thats my plan. I can also go in there with less nerves as i have something lined up as a fallback. I hate my current job so to have 2 potentials has taken a huge amount of pressure off of me.

    Pre-Employment Discussion

    Strange one today. I had an interview last year but sadly didnt get the job for a grade 2 signaller. Well i reapplied for a grade 4 signaller and my test scores were still good enough. At the same time i applied for openreach as an engineer. I was actually offered that job this morning and...

    out of interest is there a way of finding out at what standard you passed your online tests? the position I applied for is a grade 2 and I passed all three tests to the required standard, but if say a grade 8 came up id like to know in advance if I had what it takes if that makes sense

    I would just wait. Did your interviewer tell you how many had been successful previously? I was one of three applicants, I know as I asked. mine was Friday afternoon and i was the first to be interviewed, he told me id hear by next week. they might just still be interviewing if they had lots of...

    ah okay. To tell you the truth the more i read about being a signaller the more i am getting nervous as it seems like such a perfect match for me in terms of responsibility and work/home life so i am just hoping i made a good impression during the interview as i have been known to wander from...

    I justvhad my interview. After getting the email saying about hitting the required standards i got called in for an interview like 2 weeks later. If you pass the test its not 100% you will get an interview is what i gathered from my chat

    Thats very strange? Maybe someone more experienced can answer? Maybe you would do them at a seperate time? Or something about the grade of the box?

    Exactly. I didnt finish all questions on mine as one of the maths questions im sure had no right answers. I came off and tried figuring it out for another hour and still didnt find the answers they put. Must have done something right as im 1 of only 3 interviewees for our local signaller box out...

    And now it is the waiting game. Phew. The two interviewers were very nice. Repeated a question for me as my answer initially took me in to the middle of nowhere. Didnt know i had to take my i.d so just emailed that if anyone else also didnt know to take it. I dont usually get nervous but that...

    Thanjs. I was hoping it wasnt dragged out if i missed out. The waiting is the worst part lol. I am currently working so IF i got offered the job i would have to figure out notice periods and such. Its all very exciting but my nerves are shot.
