Hello, new to the forum. I was succesful in stage 1 and have stage 2 next week. I was wondering whether people could give me some tips/advice on the CBI and the types of questions they asked. Also after stage 2 is there a further interview? Finally does anyone know what the training salary is?

 

[davehopp]

Rondog I've got stage 2 on Monday so I'll let you know how it goes

 

[Rondog]

Thank you & good luck for tomorrow!

 

[davehopp]

There were 4 that got through to the hr interview, more today then Tuesday is there last day, decisions Wednesday onwards! Eeeek!

 

[Lisaburnap]

They said Tuesday decision to me must have changed. Either a phone call to say you have it or an email to say no!! Lets hope it's a yes. Well done

 

[wheats]

does anybody know if they inform people that they haven't made it after sending a applicatioin pack to them?

Hiya,

I don't think they do because they receive such a high volume of applications. It might be worth e-mailing and asking for feedback?

Did anyone find out what the pay is while training is going on

 

[Rondog]

Someone reckoned you took home between £1200 & £1300 a month which is about £20k.

 

[wheats]

Good luck to all who are there this week, and those who are waiting for that phone call

 

[Rondog]

The 6 months training will fly by, keep us all updated on how things are going, andante thanks for all the updates so far

 

[Rondog]

do they measure your bmi and does anyone know their acceptable bmi? I've looked on the Internet and it ranges from 28-33 as a maximum. My bmi is 34, however I am still losing weight and lost over 2st this year which I can evidence, could this be taken into account for them to use discretion as I am still trying to lose weight? I'm 1.67m and just over 15st. Can anyone help?

 

[wheats]

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, you have passed all they have put your way and your bmi won't be an issue
