    A career as a signaller

    Hi Signallers, Just a quick question. When I joined a couple of years ago the first stage was Verbal and Numerical reasoning. Looking at the website it now says Virtual ability assessment. Is there anyone that has applied recently that can tell me whether or not this is different to the...

    It would be a shame to lose you guys. From a personal perspective you, LOM, nom, High Dyke and the countless other experienced members of this thread provide a real insight and this has been extremely beneficial, not only for me but countless others. When I first started applying for jobs there...

    A career as a signaller

    It closed on the 18th August. I was also signed up for alerts but after a while it became apparent that signaller jobs weren't coming through. Hence the reason why I look every couple of days.

    A career as a signaller

    The process is slightly different. I think they are expecting a shortage in signallers going forward and are preempting this. I cannot offer more than that regarding the first part of your question as I do not currently work as a signaller so have no inside knowledge. The application form...

    Just out of curiosity LOM does it say on your contract where you are being employed or is it a generic contract that says you are being taken on as a signaller?

    Hi Macca, this process looks like it will go along the same lines as the previous mass recruitment for north/east. What I mean is that you don't actually answer the 69 questions there are only about 8 and two of them are asking you about location. It might be worth you starting the application...

    Not sure, but as part of the process you select the locations that you wish to be considered for. The application also states that you must live within 60 minutes of the location/s that you are applying for.

    That makes three of us for that area that have had the same experience. Does your application status still say assessment 2 complete? Will let you know if I hear anything.

    Just a quick question. I recently applied for the North/East recruitment drive. Firstly, congrats to all those that were successful! Secondly, just wondering if anyone received a job offer for the North East Lincolnshire area. I am specifically talking about the imaginary corridor that runs...

    Thanks, you too. I was also a bit confused so I also emailed HR and was advised that I would have to do the tests. I think these extra tests are specific to this role only so if you apply for any other positions then they will count your original tests.

    A career as a signaller

    Hi Questiontime, I had the same query as you. It looks like they are recruiting slightly differently for this vacancy. I have also completed the usual shl tests and they are currently still valid. The current ones have been taken into consideration for a couple of applications that are also...

    Hi High Dyke, Thats pretty comprehensive, I was aware that there was different types of relief but not exactly sure of the differences. Thanks for taking the time to reply, it is very insightful.
