London Underground - Operations Control Operator

Because I already work there? Cmon where’s the logic? External people have been given the job also

Ofc you work there already so your given priority

That is absolutely not how it works, recruitment is anonymised and the whole reason it’s been put out to an external campaign is to offer jobs to external candidates - which has happened.

yes it’s anonymous but once you read the rest of the CV/covering letter it will show your job title, roles and responsibilities - it’ll be clear you work there.
I’m not saying it’s solely on being an internal candidate because externals have apparently got jobs too, but let’s be honest, having the TfL/LU background/experience will help massively and go a long way.

Not taking nothing away from anyone, Im just saying.
Congratulations to those who have been successful.

I am still waiting to hear back whether I have passed CV checks.

Yeah of course it’s easier all you need to is show up to a different TfL location

Respectfully you sound a little bit salty as I’m guessing that you didn’t get the role which isn’t cool mate. Give props to those who got it and leave it as that. Both internal and external candidates have been offered the role. I can assure you if my CV/cover letter was poor wouldn’t have moved to next stage same with the interview if it was so bad I wouldn’t have been offered the role. Ultimately whether internal or external you need to perform at the interview and all the other stages - priority isn’t given to internal candidates otherwise it would just be an internal campaign

i think logic is mate Internal people do have a better chance of getting the role than external. They are certainly at an advantage

i think there is an advantage in this job to knowledge of LU operational communications standards and rules and procedures in general.

i think considering the amount of LU applicants that do not get internal and external jobs speaks for itself, but i think it’s uncalled and juvenile for @Zb0905 to insinuate it’s just LU free for all.

at the end of the day it’s knowing your stuff, having relevant experience and examples and performing on the day. don’t degrade anyone for succeeding please
