Hi all,
straight to the point.. I have applied for dozens Network Rail positions for Operative roles, 3 are currently under review (assessment 2) however the rest time after time keep becoming unsuccessful. I have emailed, rung up, and even gone to visit local NR yards to speak to managers and staff who have been great help, but I keep getting told, "just keep trying"..
I have edited my profile to the point where I cannot enhance it no more unless I lie, which I wont do, I have great experience all all types of work, mainly construction, I have also done extensive research into rail work (as this is what I lack, I have no rail experience) but I dont seem to be getting anywhere. I have gone through essential requirements and I feel I meet them all and can provide examples of each.. I am also very passionate about this job and have always wanted to do this (I applied within school many years ago and was unsuccessful)
the one thing that frustrates me is the video they advertise on this particular role on there site, they have a video of the young lad who states he has no quals etc and everything he has learnt has been through NR, so they're willing to take people on without the experience obviously?
any suggestions? I can keep trying but I doubt every application now that is sent
