Hi guys, im new here and this is my first thread.
I recently had my assessment in Leeds and received this email a few weeks ago'
"Dear Candidate
Firstly, we would like to thank you for your patience in relation to your application for your Trainee Conductor application.
In our previous communications to you we explained that you are a Talent Pool candidate - now more accurately described as an on-hold candidate. That is someone who has passed their interview and assessment and is awaiting a training course place. Since my last communication, Ive explained to those who have contacted me directly that trainee positions are subject to business needs and that the recruitment team have many rules and regulations that we must adhere to when it comes to appointing trainees.
We do appreciate that the wait has been very frustrating for you, and again we would like to thank you for your patience.
An update on where we are now: Your Conductor Assessment is valid but for some of you your interview may have expired (those who were interviewed over 9 months ago). If this is the case for you dont worry you dont get taken off the list, your file will still be presented to the CTMs before they make a decision to appoint and they will get plenty of chance to see your interview notes and decide whether they still wish to appoint or invite you back for an updated interview.
We do hope that this communication has helped to answer some of the questions you may have and to reassure you that we have not forgotten about you and will be in touch soon.
Please note there is currently no time-scale and as with previous recruitment, training place availability is always subject to business needs, but our aim is to make use of our qualified talent pool (you) and get you on to a training course as soon as possible."
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar email and if this is good news or bad news and they're just kinda fobbing me off.
Or am I just being impatient!
