    Never give up - and thank you

    Congratulations, an inspiring story for anyone reading who wants it badly enough, never give up. I managed to gain a position at my first attempt and can't wait to get into my training which starts very soon, but I'm under no illusions that even getting through the initial sift must carry an...

    Brilliant mate. All well and good having a conditional, but having everything confirmed takes away any lingering doubt. Congratulations.

    Had 2nd part assessment and MMI today, and after a long and stressful wait received the call with a conditional offer based at Motherwell at 5pm !! Absolutely delighted. Hoping the medical etc will just be formalities, and can't wait to get started with the rest of you who are beginning training...

    Totally agree S16, the process is very well structured in design and content to ensure all the chosen candidates are fully suitable for the role, just that the sheer volume of applications to be sifted, testing and interviewing to be conducted etc, does mean there is an element of luck in the...

    This is a similar timescale to mine . The recruitment procedure seems, in some ways, a little haphazard. The very best of luck to all who have offers already, but how do Abellio know that they are the best candidates for the jobs without completing all the other interviews first.? Surely there...

    Either way, it's crazy figures mate. I have 2nd assessment and MMI next week and applied for the M/Well, Yoker etc posts, hopefully they're not all gone by then if there are many more in your position of already having an offer !!

    23,000 ? That's a staggering figure if correct. Was thinking to get one of the few jobs on offer out of an application pool of 10% of that would be quite an achievement. No wonder it takes them so long to complete the selection process.! Makes your success all the more impressive.

    No mate there were no MMI's , just the testing.

    Assessment today. Think it went fairly well, another waiting game now to see if I've done enough to make it to interview stage, although they stated they are hoping to get things moving quickly, so hopefully not too long !! Assessors were very helpful and tried to make everyone as much at ease...
