But not defeated

 

[steve1981]

Results are few days to go to employer.if you log into your gbrf online profile you can see your progression.mine says under review 29/4/19 which is the date my medical results got to gb. Just a waiting game now

 

[steve1981]

Can anyone remember the training wage and final passed out wage?

 

[lampsr5]

I havent got a clue mate tbh I applied through a different site so whenever I "log in" to the GB site it says i havent applied for any jobs. Tbh they told me exactly the same a week or so ago so it's just sit tight now gents.

Medical takes about an hour or so btw

 

[Konik]

Around 1h

 

[Blueben]

Around 1h

nice one

I was nice and relaxed and ready for it, just hope I can stay calm for the return leg!!!
Can’t comment on wages as I’ve applied for a different toc

 

[lampsr5]

did you get a medical for GB Ben?

 

[Blueben]

No mate wmt

Had it today, looks like I’ve done ok

 

[steve1981]

Good man, that's 3 of us so far then I guess

 

[Blueben]

Are you going for wmt as well steve

 

[steve1981]

Funny enough I didn't get through with my own company lol

 

[lampsr5]

I missed the wmt intake gutted about it as another option ain't it! fairplay dude hopefully u hear something soon then

 

[Blueben]

Just have to keep your head down and he patient

 

[BMoore]

Hey guys, I had my medical a few weeks back but have not herd back from it yet. have you herd back about your medicals? or did you have to chase it up?

 

[Konik]

Just check your online account and see if date changed, if it changed to date after your medical it means they received your medical report.

 

[BMoore]

@Konik i tried that but it says I got no vacancies against my name which it did before I had my medical I think someone else had the same sinario?

Hi mate that's possibly me, I havent been able to access an online account throughout pretty much the whole process. I'd just give them a call

 

[steve1981]

I've had same issue few times, don't know why but try this
Go to gbrf home page and select vacancies
Then select hq jobs
Then log in and select dashboard
Previous job application will now show
Worked for me
If it works save the link to homepage to use quickly in future to check status
Hope it works for you guys

 

[BMoore]

@steve1981 thanks for that, it says ‘under review’ and the date is after my medical so guess were just waiting for a call now then

No probs glad it worked for you, i mite call for an update today guess it wont hurt

 

[BMoore]

Course not, let us know what they say saves everyone ringing up and hastening them lol

 

[steve1981]

Rang twice today but no answer oh well must be busy i guess

 

[steve1981]

Anyone else tried calling?

 

[lampsr5]

sorry mate I havent to be honest been conscious of hassling them too much as I'd already made a few calls before. It's someone else's turn now haha

 

[Blueben]

Would an email not be a better way to proceed? That way they can answer you when they get chance?

By calling them you look keen, but you could also catch them at the wrong time.
Proceed with caution

 

[Konik]

I sent email while ago and never had any answer, so I'm just being patient, if they say they will sort It, we need to assume it will be sooner or later all rail industry is kind of slow in dealing with recruitment, mainly due to shortage of driver instructors.

 

[TTD85]

Any news from anyone?

 

[Konik]

Lady, who deals with our recruitment is on annual leave atm till end of the week.

 

[BMoore]

Had a call not long ago. They are still waiting to finalise a contract which the trainee vacancies are contingent on. They are hoping to have an answer prob in a month so let’s prey they get that contract

 

[steve1981]

Lady from hr just called to pretty much say they are waiting for confirmation of new business before committing to offering us contracts, sounds like 7 or 8 in the talent pool with 90% chance of jobs.hopefully we will be told soon
