Conductor Process - Northern

[Train73]

Has anyone heard anything since finding out that you had passed the online maths and English test?

 

[Rover77]

Nothing. I've applied for Blackburn. Been 2 months now since passing tests.

I know there’s a lot going on, on the railway at the moment.
im just hoping once it’s all done and dusted that recruitment will go ahead again.

I'm on my final day in the talent pool so expecting an email tomorrow to say no job available. Covid has caused havoc with recruitment and they will only be putting people through that they really need.
Obviously I'm very disappointed but it is what it is at the moment.
Hope you all have better luck than I've had.

Had an email today apologising for the wait. Lots of intrest so taking long time blah blah blah.

Excellent news. Well done. I'm hoping they are doing Manchester first then will move onto to Blackburn. Good luck

Great news on your interview, are they still via zoom? Or face to face now

Still an online interview via Microsoft teams. Shall be a surreal experience!

I've also received an invite to interview today for Manchester ... Good luck to all invited... Do we know how many positions they are interviewing for?

 

[dalesrail]

Anybody any idea whether the vacancies are Victoria or Piccadilly or both?

No idea ... The advert just stated 'Manchester Depots'.

 

[dalesrail]

Has anybody else received an additional email telling you how to access the interview on MS Teams? It says that such an email should be sent, but so far I've only had the 'Interview confirmed' notification on the careers website.

Nope, not received anything as yet via email... Haven't logged into the Northern portal yet to check either.... they will probably send it out next week when they know who's definitely attending interviews!

 

[dalesrail]

I thought that may be the case. Thanks.

Did you receive an email today?... I got one asking for ID documents and giving info about the interview!

 

[dalesrail]

Yeah, received that one myself today

 

[Jaxscc]

Had my interview today for Manchester so now just waiting to hear back... Felt very relaxed after initial few minutes of nerves, although it did feel very strange doing an interview over Microsoft Teams.

 

[dalesrail]

Mine was Tuesday. I did relax as we got into it, although the nerves were there to begin with. Best of luck

 

[Jaxscc]

Thank you... Good luck to you, hopefully we'll both be in Conductor Training in the near future

 

[dalesrail]

Thanks for that. Yeah, here's hoping.
