    Failed assessment

    I echo the above. I dreamt of being a firefighter from age 18. Applied for 15years with no joy until reaching 33, then becoming successful! If it's meant to be, and your determined, it will come

    MMI - Same questions or different?

    Without sounding arrogant. The MMI is so much more straight forward than people create in their mind! You are literally telling a story, which you fully know as it was your story to tell - following the STAR model. Of course, a strong example always helps, however, being clear & following the...

    Part time job whilst training (conductor)

    Pretty sure a similar question was asked on here the other week. The general reply was - in a safety critical role, the distraction of another job & fatigue management would potentially hinder your progress / possibly lead to mistakes - thus not worth the risk However, I appreciate everyone...

    Freightliner - Trainee Drivers 2022 - (01/11/21)

    I know it's very Depot specific, however, I was wondering if anyone had heard on the grapevine how many drivers they are looking to take on it total?
