SWT Guard job

[Babysaint]

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has applied for the South West Trains Guard Job at Bournemouth and if anyone's heard anything? Applied back in January and checked online to my application and just says that I have applied.

You are best off contacting recruitment and inquiring the status of your application. Bournemouth is one of the more popular depots so I can imagine it will be a while before you may get called in for your assessments.

Hi guys, thanks for the reply, yes can believe it is soooo slow, an update would have been nice tbh! Will email the recruitment section and see how it's progressing though, so thanks for the advice

I think I'd be more inclined to get hold of the phone number and ring. A phonecall is always much more personal. Just an opinion, but it didn't do any harm when I got my job. Someone on here is bound to have (or can get hold of) the number for HR. Monty??

0845 408 1322 is the number I have for them, I was using it until very recently so I assume it still is correct.

Hi guys, thanks so much for all your help. I will give them a call tomorrow and try and find out what's going on. Was hoping that they are just a little slow on getting back to me and not that I haven't got through to the assessment stage.

I gave SWT recruitment a call over 2 weeks ago regarding my application for a guard position. They said my application was ok and that they were in the process of inviting people to assessment days.

Like I said that was over 2 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything. Getting a little worried now.

Anyway I wish you the best of luck. Fingers crossed.

Well gave them a call today and spoke to a very nice lady, she said that they are dealing with the busiest depot first, which is London, Bournemouth have been pushed to near the bottom after the London vacancies. She said if we haven't heard anything that is not necessarily bad news, just that we are still in the draft and when they get to Bournemouth then we will hear whether we have made it onto the assessment stage.

So fingered still crossed and being patient
