Try not to focus on any particular part of the screen. Sit slightly back and just let your vision cover the whole screen. ‘Ignore’ the big stuff as that will be obvious….concentrate on the smaller stuff…..make sure you spot the traffic lights….and never guess. And if any of us knew exactly how...

1. Don’t rely on hearing others click their buttons 2. Move your head backwards and forwards to/from the computer screen so that your eyes are constantly re-focusing and don’t ‘fixate’ allowing your brain to play tricks on you. 3. As soon as you click….do a forced blink of your eyes to refresh...

I was a bus/coach driver for 15 years before joining the railway....and i’m so glad I managed to get a foot in the door for so many reasons...even before covid. I applied in October’18....and went through all of the tests etc to start July’19. Thinking back to the whole process I consider...

I’d say the ATAVT is around 1 sec which is still the blink of an eye. Not enough time to scan the entire image as you normally would on any picture.....try to ‘squint’ at the screen....a bit like the old MagicEye pictures....you stand a much better chance of catching all the various things in...

Me too

Therein lies the rub.....we’d all love to know what the pass mark is and how well we scored compared to that....but those figures are always baffling. I’ve asked my company about how I scored and they wont tell me. Good luck with it though.

I echo others comments in that you’ll easily notice a car but it’s the small road signs etc that you’ll need to pick up on. It’s almost better to ‘squint’ at the screen...for want of a better word....a general stare at the screen rather than trying to dart your eyes all over the screen in the...

Slowly move your head backwards and forwards so your eyes are constantly re-focusing. And as soon as you have acknowledged a colour change do a long blink to refresh your eyes.

I got the same. I think we’d all do the assessment again and it would just sit there again.

In the crazy world of railway recruitment i’m surprised we even got a rejection email....let alone the reason why.....even if we weren’t in the middle of all this lockdown etc

I just got the NO too...... ....i’m as white as they come....and I already work for a TOC....and i’ve done all the psychometric tests before... ....they’re just whittling down the numbers and sometimes you miss the pass mark by one or two. Best of luck to all those who get through....it’s a...

I’m a shunter with another TOC....and very happy doing that for a while.....couldn’t afford the pay cut to do the training as well.....but i’m sure it’ll suit others....it’s a great opportunity

I withdrew my interview and application today. With everything else going on i’d prefer someone else to get my interview slot....no point going through with it if my hearts not in it and my gut instinct says not to. Best of luck to you all though....the railway is an awesome place to work.

‘How did that make you feel?’ ‘mmm....but how did that make you feel?’ ‘I see...but.....how did that make YOU feel?’

I just got one too....best o’luck!

Multi modal interview: ‘give me an example of when you did X to achieve X’.....’and how did that make you feel’ Driver manager interview: ‘tell us why you’re right for the job and give us examples of when you did X’

I’ve had nothing so far either way....good luck all.

I think the online assessment system obviously has a massive meltown! We’ve all had to do an additional assessment and I guess it’s random as to which one we missed. Also throws in to question those that got an immediate rejection. The error checking bit is a classic railway...

As with anything involving recruitment on here......there is usually no rhyme or reason as to how this process is managed.....we just have to keep our fingers crossed (and a little bit of luck) that our CV experience and the way in which we answered the assessments is enough to progress. There...
