LU Night Tube Train Operator - Part Time

[General_miller]

Everyone gets asked sorry

I didn't get an opportunity to ask any of my questions at the end though.

 

[Webby]

I told them ii had a trip to florida planned for august and they said it shouldnt clash with training. Probably because i wont be training ha ha.

 

[R9mmel]

On ac2 does everyone get asked about booked holidays or is this a good sign ?

I think they ask everyone about booked holidays and notice period at the end of interview. They made a joke of it said it was admin duties

 

[EYRail6980]

Yeah they filled it into standard boxes on a form so standard question

 

[DavyCrocket]

On ac2 does everyone get asked about booked holidays or is this a good sign ?

Everyone is asked that plus notice period

 

[Webby]

Has anyone had a posotive Ac2 result yet for this campaign?

 

[R9mmel]

So now that the dust has settled for a few of us and we know the result of our interviews. My big question is simply this, Would you ever try T/op with TfL again?
(my answer would be no .. not unless I was an internal candidate)

Why not ?

 

[R9mmel]

Why not ?

Just too much time spent practice then the long day at the assessment centre then having to go again for the interview then after all of that if you're unsuccessful an email. Yeah and i understand high volumes is the reason which is understandable plus I figure not only do TfL staff get feedback but they must be preferred over external candidates, not to mention their competencies would be way easier as they work in the environment already. Don't get me wrong I believe it's based on benchmarks but I still think it's tilted in favour of them.

 

[Webby]

Do you feel you struggled with the competency questions, i found a couple quite difficult as they were worded differently and had to think quickly,did you come out feeling you had done well?

 

[Sg101]

I done mine yesterday and definitely didn't come out feeling like I done well tbh .... the competency interview was ALOT harder than I thought it would be

 

[Webby]

Yeah me to the questions around my answers were very probing ,i think if u made up answers u could get caught out.

 

[slidingdoors]

Was the AC2 interview essentially an MMI then?

Sounds about par for any train driver position.

Trust me you're better off having to come back for the interview on another day rather than having it on the same day as the tests.

Done both processes. When I did the interview on the same day I was unsuccessful. When I did it on a different day I passed.

Internals are always going to have an edge on the competencies, but still need to give evidence of them in their interview.

 

[Webby]

Surely someone must have had a positive Ac2 result by now!

Still waiting for a rejection email following the SJT!

Same here.... I at least want the opportunity to take the test at Ashfield house

Waiting for my outcome now. Had AC2 on Wednesday.

Same here. Would love the opportunity to even get through to AC1.

There seems to be literally no rhyme or reason to the way they are going through applications. But if you get 5000+, where do you even start?

Let us know if u hear anything. How do you think it went?

There must be some logic to it. As if anyone who's done AC2 is about to get an offer then that's one place gone, and one place less for anyone who hasn't even been offered AC1 yet to fight for.

You have to assume the people seen already have more appropriate CVs, work history etc. Agreed it must be a nightmare to go through them, presumably they use some kind of software algorithm etc.

I would feel totally gutted to receive one of those rejection emails, but still sitting waiting all this time after my SJT, I guess I'll never know for sure how it feels now!

On a totally selfish note, whilst I feel sorry for all those receiving their rejections, at least it opens up another possibility of a position opening up for someone else. Me... me... me!!!

Hey guys, when doing the Ac1 tests do you get the use of a calculator during the tests?

I have not done AC1, but can't see any reason why you would need a calculator to look for shapes, read passages, or find faults.

You start from the beginning. .. been waiting from the 25th of march for the outcome of the SJT.

 

[Toastmondays]

I honestly am not sure. Once again, like AC1, there were no surprises so preparation went well and helped me out a lot.

I have had tougher face to face interviews but that one was by no means easy.

Fingers crossed for everyone!

Anyone attending AC1 on Tuesday 2nd May 2017?

 

[Webby]

Quite worrying that there are no success stories on here.
