Could you tell me what the questions are? I'm still awaiting my interview email. Thanks.
Here you are t o m, hope this is helpful, not sure what else will be involved in the interview
The aim of the interview is to find out more about you and your reasons for wanting to join this particular scheme. We will also be asking you about your experiences to date that you think are relevant to your application and which are important to us to be able to assess your suitability for this opportunity.
In particular you may want to prepare for your interview by thinking about the following areas:
- your experience of taking responsibility
- when you have had to learn something new
- when you have had to organise something
- when other people have had to rely upon you
- how you will cope with working shifts and in all weathers
- how you will get to work when working shifts
You may find it useful to think of specific examples in these areas that you will be able to discuss in the interview.
Overall, we will want to know why you want to be a Network Rail Engineering Apprentice and specifically your reasons for choosing your preferred area of work (Track, Signalling, Electrification and Plant, Telecoms, Mechanical Locking or Fleet). You should also consider whether this depot is going to be an acceptable distance for you to travel from home.
Many people find that by taking some time to prepare beforehand this helps to reduce any nerves and increases their confidence in the interview situation.
Friends or family may also be able to help you think of examples of your experience or even ask you mock interview questions so you can practice talking about yourself in this way.
The dress code for the interview is smart, rather than smart/casual as at the selection day, however do make sure you feel comfortable with whatever you decide to wear.
There is a lot of information on our website about the scheme. If you have not already seen this we strongly recommend you to the site, you will also find a lot of other information about the company that you may find interesting, (
