Hello guys,
New to the forum and looking at a career change at the age of 39. (is this too old for signaller starting out?) I have 3 applications in for trainee train driver jobs and have recently looked at the signaller side of things and am really interested.
Going to apply for the Cambridge position and just wondered if anybody could give any advice regarding how long it takes to fill in the application? I'm time pressed today so don't want to start it if I can't finish it in one sitting...
Many thanks for any advice.
Hi,
I recently turned 40 and have no concerns about being too old to be starting out. I think if you can demonstrate the necessary skills and ability to learn age shouldn't be an issue to either yourself or your employer.
The initial application takes a little while, I think it was about 60 yes/no questions where on quite a few you had to give situational explanations when you answered yes. It wasn't too taxing though and one section just asked about role specific experience which for me at least were all straight no's.
