Hello all,
I applied for a signaller role around 4-5 months ago now and, having completed the online assessment etc and then hearing next to nothing for a very long time, received an email yesterday telling me I had been invited to interview in a couple of weeks time. To say I'm excited would be putting it mildly.
I have no experience of signalling, nor even working with trains or any form of transport and am actually coming from an office job where I deal with beauty products. Bit of a sideways step but I obviously nailed the questions on the self-assessment to get this far!
I'm now in the process of trying to learn any and everything about the role (I did some research before applying but for obvious reasons have stepped it up a bit now), but if any of you had any interview tips for me I'd hugely appreciate it! Do they tend to focus on anything in particular or is it more of a general Q&A? Is there anything you recall from your interviews that you'd pass down as advice or should i really just concentrate on learning what I can about being a signaller and hope that my enthusiasm sees me through?
Massive thanks in advance for any potential replies!
