I recieved that too (LDN Victoria applicant), but not holding my breath as a colleague of mine applied same time as me and got that same email early December '21 and hasn't had an invite yet.
Also, ANOTHER colleague of mine has gone through the process and got a position! I believe he started about 2 weeks ago!
Good luck because it isn't nice? Or good luck using it? If it's the latter, perhaps we shouldn't sit the assessments
Just in case anyone is having issues translating.
Worlds worst coffee machine.

Very similar to that! And the training centres have the same, so makes training days very long

Ok thanks. Frustrating isn’t it?
Good evening all, hope all is well.
I received an email today stating the following:
“I am pleased to confirm you that your application has successfully passed the screening process.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your interest in this position, and we will contact you as soon as we are able to continue with your application.”
The remainder of the email is pretty irrelevant to this thread.
Guess that stills means more twiddling of thumbs, albeit good news…
Wish you all the best!

Is anyone waiting for an MMI after an assessment in 2022?

Do Southern allow applications for new drivers like Southeastern or are they content with their serious understaffing issue?!

Ive received another email today stating the same thing and a further one asking if ive done any psychometric tests in the last three years with any other company.
I applied many years ago in early 2000 and just failed the mechanics test by a few per cent , i was kicking myself as i dwelled on one question and ran out of time but knew the next 4 , not realiding yiu could skip questions. He wanted me to apply again in 6 months but then got promoted to manager.
So im thinking is there some reading material for that test if it still exists as that will be my weak point as im not mechanically minded but very logical.
Pretty sure the mechanical test is long gone now.
Did you phone/email SE recruitment to see if your application actually went through?
(Fingers crossed for you)
