Greater Anglia recruiting for Drivers

[Teddyward]

That’s great news! Where have you applied for?

Well I put down bishops stortford and Colchester but i think it’s for depot driving at Southend. The email says interview for mainline but there’s an attachment that I can’t open that’s entitled Southend depot. Suits me if there’s no courses for the foreseeable.

So do you live within the required distance for Southend - or the others?

Oh and good luck!

Ty.
Bishops stortford and Southend definitely within the 45 mins. Colchester....bit of a stretch but doable on a clear run.

Been invited for dmi today.
Only had one slot to choose from. Luckily it’s a booked day off for me.

Are you guys talking about the trainee driver roles or qualified drivers ?

She has got her Managers Interview to come. But regardless- it’s Nov 2019 start (For Bishops Stortford anyway!)[/QUOT

There’s a huge backlog at the moment. I have been told by our HR that they’ve got courses booked up until at least November 2019.

A friend of mine who’s also a Driver at our depot said that his daughter passed all of the assessments and she cannot start until 2019.

Hi mate can you private message me thanks.

 

[Mashud121]

I've still not heard anything. Amazes me how long it takes. I applied for Arriva (London Overground) back in March and still haven't heard from them.

Yes i just heard back from overground straight to managers interview i applied in march but did all my assesments with a foc.

45 minutes is ideal- I think the maximum is 90 minutes. I have a mate of mine who lives in Leighton Buzzard and commutes to CBG everyday. If we work a 10 hour day- with his commute it’s now a 13-14 hour day.

**** that!!!

 

[Teddyward]

Yeah, was a good interview I felt and the interviewers made me feel very comfortable.

But that’s not always a sure sign plus I’m not sure how many spaces there are to interviewees so will just have to wait and see.

Was told I would hear back soon, fingers crossed!

Did you do it at Stratford?

What do the DMI assessments involve? Is that the spacial reasoning, phychometric tests etc.. then a face to face interview?

It was at Bishops Stortford station.

It’s the managers interview. I’ve done the psychometrics already.

DMI is the driver manager interview, you'll do the psychometric prior to the dmi most likely

 

[Teddyward]

Ah ok. I’m just waiting to hear back wether mine is depot or mainline. If not I guess I’ll find out on the day.

I've recently had my dmi at Bishops Stortford, has anyone had results from theirs yet?

Not yet. When did you have yours?

When I chose my time slot the latest date was Monday August 6th so I’m guessing we will find it after that unless there were more interview dates after that?

What time slots did you have to choose from?

 

[Teddyward]

I still haven’t heard back yet whether I’m to be interviewed for depot or mainline.
Best swot up for both roles.

 

[Andym1976]

I chose 27th at 1130, can't remember the times available but I think that there were three dates, August being one of them. I feel it went ok, very relaxing atmosphere but I think it depends on numbers of vacancies

You must have been the guy waiting to go in when I came out mine was booked for 10:45 but went in about 11 I think.

Yes it was a relaxing atmosphere indeed. I felt the same. Here’s hoping we both get good news.

Mine was running late by a bit, they said that hr allocated 45 per interview which was a bit tight. Fingers crossed then☺

Yeah when I went in they said sorry you get talking and then lose track of time lol.

Definitely fingers crossed.

Are all those getting interviews the people who already passed a psychometric test?

If thats the case do we deduce that all the other applicants will not near anything else?

Since completing the online test, the last I heard was when we got several emails about data protection.

I have done the tests previously, yeah.

I wouldn’t think they would just disregard everybody else though.

I have too and am doing my upmost to get a job while they’re still valid as I don’t fancy doing them again!

I'm in the same boat as you - silence but no rejection yet, despite not having done psychometrics etc previously
