Hi Guys new to the forum.

I Applied to FSR Gone through shortlisting and passed my assessments. Now I Have My Interview Next Tuesday in the Yoker Depot, I was wondering if anyone knows what questions I will be asked. Also if anyone can give me any pointers.

Cheers

Hi and welcome to the forums! This has been covered a fair few times before. There's a search facility toward the top right hand side of the main railway jobs and careers page. If you search for "structured" it should turn up plenty of threads. Definitely worth a read. Good luck and let us know how you get on!

Ah sorry, I mis-read the date. Good luck next week and don't worry. Its just an interview to find out what sort of a person you are. Just try and remain calm through it.

Congratulations on getting that far mate!

Is it the Glasgow vacancy you applied for? I’m still sitting at awaiting shortlisting 1 month down the line.
