Not relevant to anyone other than myself but got my feedback thru the post from FSR HR - passed all tests except the TRP part one - just as I thought. Can't fault the HR dept, they were first class at the assessment centre & got this feedback out to me within days.

 

[Senshi]

Unlucky jydo, good that they got back to you so quickly, least you know and can try better prepare for next time you apply! Good luck in the future!

hi guys, im new to the forum and planning on applying the next time FSR have drivers jobs up in the Glasgow area, just wondering what is the youngest looking folk you have seen at the assesments, as im pretty young and dont know if i would get through due to my age?

You can apply at 21 or I think 20 as long as you will be 21 by the time you pass out as a driver

You can apply aslong as you will be 21 when you qualify, as legally you need to be 21 before you can gain a train driving license, I've applied this year and onto Stage 2 Assessment Center at the age of 22.

I got the driver job with scotrail when I had just turned 21

 

[rocky1807]

Anyone got their stage 2 assessments this week?

 

[G36]

Got mine next Friday at 9am

 

[Bobby Carlos]

Hi I'm just new to the forum and going through the recruitment phase. Had my second stage assessment yesterday, thankfully passed it just waiting on hearing when the interview will be. Pretty delighted. Good luck to everyone doing the second stage in the coming weeks!

 

[rocky1807]

Bobby, did they say if you pass you automatically get an interview? I am sure at the last stage, even if you passed with a low score you may not get through.
Sounds good if it is different at this stage.

 

[Bobby Carlos]

Hi rocky, they didn't say anything to me about passing but no interview. I think you are guaranteed an interview if you pass. Because how would they know the quality of applicants of people who have later stage two assessments. << not sure if that makes sense. When is ur stage two?

 

[rocky1807]

Makes sense Bobby.
Got mine at 9am on Thursday.
How did the MMI go? That's the only bit I am really dreading.

 

[Bobby Carlos]

It was ok, it is nerve racking. Just like any other interview. I'm sure you will be ok obviously you just need to be yourself and let them see your personality as I think that has a lot to do with it as well. Good luck.

Well done on the pass.. Roughly how long did your MMI last? Iv heard everything from 30 mins to an hour and a half depending which thread you read. Got mine Friday if I pass the computer tests ok. Cheers

Got a call today to say I had passed yestetdays assessments and will be contacted in the next few weeks re an interview.
Happy with that.

Let me know how you got on today Gav.

 

[G36]

Got telephone call to say Iv passed. Waiting for dates for dm interview now. There are 4 courses starting in august and sept so everything seems to be moving quite quickly. Good luck to anyone waiting for 2nd stage assessments

 

[rocky1807]

well done Gav.
Yeah same as myself told to keep an eye on my emails for the dates of the interviews.

 

[jazza20]

Well done to all that passed, the anticipation is killing me, wish they would give us the dates for DM Interview, anybody any idea when the assessment centres are finishing?

 

[rocky1807]

I think the last days Thursday. The 26th rings a bell. The woman said before that they will always give us at least 7 days notice.
I wonder how many will be through to this last stage.

 

[G36]

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about dates for the DM interview soon after the 26th. I think that is the last date.

 

[jazza20]

i think there was 20 sessions, i had 2ppl in my second assessment so im gonna go max 40 at worst maybe.

 

[Senshi]

got mine today, this is the last day im sure, it was scheduled for 1pm but received an email asking me to phone HR, when i did they asked me if i could change my time to 11.30am, i done that no problem but im presuming this was so they could make decisions on DM interviews a little bit quicker. ill let you guys know how i get on today(or how i felt i got on until i hear back from them). good luck to anyone else sitting stage 2 today too.

[rocky1807]

Well Done Senshi. Hope you hear good news tomorrow.

[Senshi]

got an email there saying ive passed stage 2 and like yourselfs im now awaiting dates for the DM interview! so happy!! hopefully can bag myself a train driver job at the first attempt!

 

[jazza20]

Well done, fingers crossed we get some dates for interviews next week. I nearly walked out after the 2 hand test never realised i had shaky hands haha

 

[G36]

I'm the same. Though I had failed 2 hand test for sure. Couldn't even move the thing sometimes. Was very happy to hear I had passed it

[Hardie12]

Congratulations guys for getting this far and good luck with the interviews. Are you guys aware if they plan to recruit again this year for trainee position?

 

[jazza20]

I think i remember her saying they are only hiring 40 overall this year down from the usual 80, best thing is to sign up to the job alerts on Firsts' website
