Glad to know I wasn't the only one that applied for this, at what stage are you taking these tests? I only have came across the mechanical, verbal and mathematical tests after applying. No electrical.

This is after passing the online application and all the online tests. These test will be at the assessment stage where you have to attend.

I see, so have you applied for the role that was advertised recently in January? I haven’t heard back yet and I find it strange that you’re already on the 2nd stage of the process, unless you’ve applied for the same role that was advertised last year or something.

I got rejected on friday for failing the first stage of the online tests, but the email said I done well and they’ll hold my results on record for future positions. I don’t know wheather they really will or isit just waffle. Wish they’ll make these initial tests relevant to the actual job.

Well I didn't find any material but, the questions were about basic electrical knowledge.

Hello all,

I will do it the next week. Did you do a mechanical, electrical test and finally the interview? is that all?

Was the Competency Interview difficult to answer?

I lacked time to finish the online test verbal and mathematics . Did you have enough time to respond in the second stage? computer or paper?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, yes you will have mechanical and electrical paper test and an interview. Competency interviews can not be difficult as they ask questions about your experiences, and yes you will have plenty of time to answer.
