Perhaps they remembered you!Got a rejection email. Oddly enough the last exact application got me to interview stage...
Well I applied for the post in Sheffield, but have a home in West Yorkshire also. Told them if it was OK and the HR personal said yeah as long as I could bring document evidence if selected. However got feedback today from the failed interview and it states apply again after 6 months.Perhaps they remembered you!
They get thousands of applications! If they had remembered you then you’d have got through beca you must have done a hell of an application!!!!
That's what I was thinking. Anyway I hope that was the case as I thought my application was spot on as previouslyThey can check using your national insurance number.
You could send in the same application 20 times and only get through once. They look for all sorts when they do the initial sift. If you’re internal then a prompt from your line manager could work a treat! If your external they might prioritise a particular demographic. These sifts tend to get outsourced as resource departments don’t have the manpower to do it internally. They will be advised what terms and phrases they are looking for and if they should prioritise certain applications over others. Getting through the initial stages is certainly out of your hands to a certain degreeThat's what I was thinking. Anyway I hope that was the case as I thought my application was spot on as previously
Yeah strange one, usually says application unsuccessful if you've not made the sift or vacancy closed if they pull the job.I received application ended from them. They usually say unsuccessful. Does anyone know what application ended means and how that differs to unsuccessful
5 minutes away from the Station, yes!Are you within the required 60 minutes from your home to the station in question - I only as I had a similar situation a couple of years ago and when I reached out to the HR team that's what they said was the case.
Dont get hung up and the 12-18 months part. Thats mainly aimed towards your apprenticeship reviews and progress some what.This seems like a very long time to complete driver training which is usually 12-18 months. Am I right in thinking this is implying that driver training will take over 2 years before being allowed to drive solo? Because it contradicts itself by saying £44,952 in year 2 of driving, so year 1 of driving must be £40,738, which means you must already be driving solo at this point after the initial 12 months of training?
Could someone clarify this please?
There's no bump up in pay after classroom training. Its only when you have completed theory based in classroom and then practical handling (200+ hours) at home depot once completed your assessments with a DTMI think 23k is so outdated and unliveable for 12 months and with other TOCs at least you get more of a bump when you finish the classroom training.
The best thing you can do in regards to taking the psychometric exams is be calm, listen and ask if you’re not 100% sure.I applied back in December, after a few of the “your application is being screened” emails I have an interview coming up for the position. If I pass that then it’s Psychometrics. Having never done psychometrics for driver that’s the thing I’m most nervous about but we’ll see how we go!
If anybody could provide some insight to this would be great. And what routes do the Leeds drivers cover?Please can anyone give an insight as to what a typical roster for a Northern driver at Leeds might look like? And does anyone know what the t&c are like... annual leave etc? I know Sunday's are inside the working week!
Don't known if this will help but this is a freedom of information request to Northern asking for a list of what traction and routes drivers sign from each depot which they provided.If anybody could provide some insight to this would be great. And what routes do the Leeds drivers cover?

Did you pass? And if so, have you yet been placed on a course ?I applied back in December, after a few of the “your application is being screened” emails I have an interview coming up for the position. If I pass that then it’s Psychometrics. Having never done psychometrics for driver that’s the thing I’m most nervous about but we’ll see how we go!
