...seriously. And I tried to come up with a good thread title, the above is as good as I could think of.
Anyway, I'm posting this as I'd like to know some bits and bobs about trainee driver assessments. What do they involve and is it going to be as insanely difficult as I imagine it will be?
I'm interested because I received a letter today from FGW about a trainee train driver vacancy, inviting me to an assessment with them next week in Newport. To say it put me in a good mood is an understatement. I was over the moon to have gotten this far! Still in a good mood now and I doubt I will be feeling any different all weekend!
Having read briefly through the materials I got in the post this afternoon, I'm now ultra nervous. The ATW tests were a walkthrough in comparison to this lot. Suffice to say I'll be going through what I've got with a fine tooth comb for the next 6 days!
Does anyone have any advice they feel may be useful? Having never done an assessment for a role at this level before, I'm not sure what to expect. Even advice on how to keep calm on the journey to the assessment would be welcome.
Thanks in advance gang.
