Shift work won't necessarily mean your partner is doing more parenting. He'll be doing more solo parenting but then so will you. On the plus side it's likely your children will spend less time in childcare and more time at home with a parent (obviously dependent on how your current circumstances...

I can recommend the Finch House Bakery afterwards. Their carrot cake is amazing and huge

You can use anything, long motorway driving, maybe you have been a lifeguard, literally anything, once you start thinking through all your different jobs and roles in life you will find something appropriate.

Received an email today informing me that they will be sending out invites over the next few weeks/months for assessment centres. Tonbridge applicant

They will let you know but now there is a human element to it it all slows down. They must be working in batches.

I agree, thats what I've always done and got through. There is a weird dichitomy in the railway between customer service and performance though.

If it's your best example than reuse it. I made the mistake of using a different example on an interview with the same person and it was much weaker. I was kicking myself afterwards 1643016827 For anyone reading the above and panicing the vacancy was taken down and then readvertised. I missed...

Yes just SJT so far

As above, nothing out of the ordinary.

It's always worth checking the link in the few days after the original post. Ice noticed a few reopen a day or two after they close. I missed the LNER one first time round, 2 days later it was back up

My video interview was awful. I'm happy with 3, borderline with 2 and 1 was an utter catastrophe. Raging at myself as 20 mins later I realised I had the perfect answer. Oh well, it'll probably be the same for others

I completed my application this morning and now have the invitation to complete the online assessment

To be honest the video interview is not nearly as bad as you think. It's being built up as some kind of massive obstacle but it's pretty straightforward and if you have any idea of what the job role entails you can predict atleast some of the questions. Unless you're completely knackered tonight...

I'd do it tonight.

Rostered leave is the biggie, you'll basically be told when 5 weeks of your leave are. You'll get a few ad hoc days though.

I've done a few video interviews. Make sure the camera is at eyeline you'll probably have to put your laptop on a couple of books to achieve this. Try to look directly at the camera, not easy to do. Remember that the vast majority of people will feel just as uncomfortable as you do so people...

I'm not sure suggesting taking on another job while training is particuarly good advice given how intense the course is. It wouldn't really do you any favours to end up being booted off because you haven't committed enough time to actually pass. Basically you need to go through all your...

I got an email to say I passed, then it went on to say that they tried to progress everyone but sometimes they had to limit numbers. It was very ambivalent so now I'm wondering if I didn't pass high enough or if they're waiting for everyone to take the online test. If I didn't have a high enough...

I applied last night, took the 2 online assessments at 4.30am this morning and got an email at 8.30ish saying I had passed and they hoped to invite everyone who passes to an assessment day but it depends on numbers. ETA that the vacancy reopened at some point for a day or two as it was closed...

Pretty sure he is job share as he had to find someone else to partner with. C2C was 5 x 4 hour shifts a week I think, looked pretty good for someone with caring responsibilities.
