For your info: I asked at the interview relating to Sunday: Sunday is a part of the working week. In June 2016 depots will aim for 4 day working week. As for interview questions for qualified drivers: they ask about a lot of different scenarios which were not mentioned on this forum

Calm down.

They used to be fast less than 24 hours was normal but now they are taking a while to get back to people.

I don't know if it's because they are running assessment centres now so are concentrating on that.

My friend waited over two weeks for his reply to stage 3 and his telephone interview isn't even until May.

Hi all

I understand that the telephone interview stage is short and sweet with perhaps further questioning but does anyone have a helping hand with what kind of questions they may ask intially ...or has anyone already had it and able to shed some light?

I do appreciate it's quite competitive and respect if people want to keep it personal.

Any thing to help with some preperation would be great thanks

Good luck everyone.

I only done the first online questionaire there was no visual part ? I've recently passed an assessment with another company, I wonder if they'll take that into account

I wrote to HMRC 4 weeks back requesting confirmation of my NI, as I couldn't find mine and have never needed it before (never worked in the UK), they told me I have one already but still hasn't arrived in the post so may have to re-schedule my assessment unless MTR are willing to accept something else such as a UK birth certificate in the mean time? :|....


Anybody else been through something similar before, with a TOC or any job for that matter?

Congrats to all that passed both assessments yesterday. Pleasure meeting you boys. I'm sure (pass or no pass) you will go onto find something that you deserve as you were all focused and positive guys. Keep smiling

Hi. Ive got a assessment coming up. Im a bit confused (doesn't take much) about the format of the assessment. Could someone who has done it explain to what tests need doing.

Its just that I'm sure that the computer test and interviews were different stage to the group bourdon test. But on the guideline give by crossrail seems like it might be all in one day.

You do what it says on the email they sent you inviting you to the assessment day.

Does anyone know if you do the MMI at the Stage 2 Assessment centre? Or do you just do the situational judgement test and the MMI on another day? Is this the same as the structured interview stage?
Thanks

Hi all
I was just wondering if anyone else has had this email, basically skipping the phone interview stage.
I can only assume that with the amount of applicants they're trying to speed up the process.
I'll try to attach the email pic...

Lucky you!...The phone interview is a breeze anyway, you'd have to really go some to fail it.

Chris, you need to clean up that inbox :)

Thankfully they emailed me Saturday saying applications were now closing on the 19th of April ( the next day ! ) . Managed to complete and submit it time and I've just completed my stage 2 online questions. God I hate subjective questions where every answer seems quite a logical response . Fingers crossed :)
