Any new jobs are being done by arriva recruitment now rather than northern so it might get a lot better.

Mine was for an interview so they would have had written notes.

You could maybe do a subject access request. I did one recently and they provided limited information to say the least.

What do HR say on the matter? Surly it can’t be good for business at least they could do is give a reason or an update for the delay.

Maybe northern should recruit quicker their introducing all these new trains by 2020 with no one to drive them.

I got through to the next stage. I was abit unsure of the process as the people assessing us was just normal members of staff. There was only one person there that was actually from HR.

I spoke to her today she came across as abit of a cold fish.

Did she manage to explain the reasons for the delay in getting in touch.

Lol was she ok with you?

I went today and it was more a meet and greet with 35 other people to see how you all interact with each other. You then got to ask questions for existing staff about the jobs they do. Then we did a group excercise promoting the on board shop.

I was at virgins assessment centre today and it there was a lad there that applied for a job last November! Karen Broad was there aswell actually.

North West customer service talent Bank.

Hi, Was wondering has anyone been invited to the assessment centre on the 04/05

I had an interview for one of these vacancies yesterday.

I had my interview today. It was very quick lasted 30 mins. They literally asked me 3 questions one being what do I know about Northern. They asked about prebooked holidays and notice period right at the end so I’m not sure if that’s a good sign.

Why? You need it if don’t mind me asking?

Give recruitment a call on 01904 568101 and ask what stage you are in the recruitment process.

Yeah I’m all prepped for the STAR answers and have some knowledge of the company. With regards to routes I know some of the main Direct services they operate.

Cricky panel how many was there? I’m sure I’ll be fine I’ve practiced the most commonly asked questions, but I’m sure they’ll ask me something I haven’t prepared for.

I’ll be using the STAR process for the compenency questions. It’s just a customer service position within the station. Can you remember what the actual questions where they asked at all? I’m really nervous not had an interview in 14 years.
