    Talent pool duration

    Absolute nonsense. Its performance based recruitment. You didn't get position, because there were people better than you in the pool. Some people are being offered a position on the course within two months of applying and there are others waiting years or never getting one. Key word...

    GWR - Trainee Train Driver (Talent Pool) - Bristol/Westbury (27/02/23)

    Or they simply dont like people they have in talent pools. Its been mentioned multiple times on this forum that being in talent pool does not guarantee anything whatsover. Some people sit in TP for years and some will get the job within weeks of applying.

    GWR - Trainee Train Driver (Talent Pool) - Bristol/Westbury (27/02/23)

    Avant has its own application system with CBI instead of MMI and application is not handled by firstgroup careers. They are swarmed with application like any other TOC/FOC that open the doors for trainees. Allegedly its 8000+ application per spot on a training course. Madness.

    Freightliner - Trainee Drivers (05/12/22)

    You can sit MMI. It will overwrite your CBI score though, so if your main priority is CBI using TOC you can't sit MMI.

    Location

    People can own more than one property in this country. You can put an address that you can move before the start of your course. I don't see any problem with that nor HR will.

    Energy price rises and price cap discussion.

    We are talking about 4% and 300%. Do they generate 90+% of their energy from nuclear?

    Energy price rises and price cap discussion.

    Any particular reason we will face 300% rises, but French people will only see 4% rises? How is that in any way justifable?

    How long do opc take to upload test scores

    Straight away. You could have passed to TPEs standard that doesn't meet DB cargos one. Even though companies call their thresholds enhanced the actual level of pass required differs from company to company.

    Crosscountry - Apprentice Drivers - Multiple Depots (12/01/22)

    Psychometrics day. MMI. Conditional offer. Medical. Actual contract. Tons of paperwork. Start date.

    Crosscountry - Apprentice Drivers - Multiple Depots (12/01/22)

    Lets be honest. Most of people send them useless information that they don't really care about anyway. All TOCs are pretty much the same in that regard. When you get through all stages you will get direct contact to recruiter, but till then be prepared for 0 contact and you can send that emails...

    TPE - Trainee Driver - Sheffield (04/02/22)

    The second assessment is actually performance based. You must be high scoring on both speed and accuracy. Its the same on opc assessments day.
