[Lasbrisas]

I answered all that I had experience in. Any that I didn't I just put N/A - applications have been accepted at first stage for all jobs I applied for

Thats good to know, thanks.

I know it's been mentioned before in this forum, but I applied for a signaller role and passed the online tests. It says my application is still under consideration and I will be contacted shortly. Been almost a week since i received that email and have been wondering how much longer would I have to wait? I really want a career with network rail so I am really nervous:/

A week is nothing! You need to be prepared to wait a lot longer. Mine was fairly quick and took 7 months from application to start date. Just be patient

I have applications that have been like that since December....

I think things take a while.

Wow! 7 months and that was quick? In a way, I suppose I shouldn't be too worried but at the same time not too confident either. Thanks for the replies!

Well I appear to have passed the online tests, to what level we will have to wait and see. I guess it's now a waiting game as with everything in the railway industry.

That's about right for me as well.
First application last November and I now have a start date in may
All good things come to those who wait... and wait

Well done for passing!
How long did it take to hear back? I took the online assessments yesterday...

I did it friday morning and had an email first thing Monday morning. I'm not reading too much into it as the scores are ranked and the top one's get an interview. As I'm 52 I'm hoping my 30 years Operational experience will help to get me through, I am also in the process of Guard and Train Driver applications so I'm hoping for something at least.

Good to Have fingers in pies! I'm sure they'll look at the overall picture and your score will just be a small pert of that. Good luck...

I'll hopefully hear back soon too
