remember it isn't a test of skill, aptitude or knowledge, it's test of (if anything) genetics. If you can easily get any sample cards right, then you're fine

Make sure you think about why you were nervous and what you feel went wrong in the interview, and work on improving your interview skills to overcome this.

Not a qualified driver, got the "no thanks" today after the checking test.

So it's a new line connecting and replacing existing DOO operations, running as a high frequency "metro"- if I owned property, I'd confidently stake it on Crossraill being DOO with roaming revenue protection staff.

...within reason, perhaps. But I really can't envisage Crossrail having more than one member of staff (ie the driver) onboard. With the current operations, I the Shenfield GE services are DOO aren't they? What about Heathrow Connect, Express and the FGW Thames valley services that Crossrail...

Don't take this the wrong way, but you've got a lot to learn about the way the world really works! There's no requirement upon any companies to look upon academic qualifications of being of any value whatsoever. Yes, for many jobs, especially at school-leaver or graduate level, the...
