Trainee Depot Driver East Midlands Trains

[baz962]

Got this email....

"We have received your application for the role of Trainee Depot Driver and we are currently still working on our shortlist for the interview. We will be back in touch soon to let you know if we will be asking you to come and meet us.

Thank you for bearing with us!"

Says interview....or is it just a generic reply? Either way I am hopeful

I haven't had an e mail but was on here last night and checked again just before I left for work and all the posts by people getting e mails were in early hours lol.

 

[Markdev]

Excellent got the email saying I have been shortlisted and will be in touch shortly.. just need some ammo now, good luck everyone

Normally apparently around 15-20 progress to mainline yearly (provided redundant freight drivers don't continue to jump the queue!)

The last time EMT advertised for qualified drivers it was open to ALL qualified drivers not just freight men.

 

[Dynamonic]

Email sent at 01:07. (The night shift experience )

They might well still be sifting applications, so you're still in it until they tell you otherwise.

If you didn't make it this time though, just try again. There'll be more opportunities soon, I'm sure.
Just look what you can do differently in your application and try again. (I failed the sift in my first attempt at this role, and made it to the MMI in my second. This is my third)

Hi what is MMI please ? I am out my depth with all the lingo as I am new to this completely and have no idea what stages mean what etc or how hard this is

 

[Dynamonic]

Hi Markdev,

The MMI stands for 'Multi-Modal Interview'.
It is a competency-based interview which will be part of Stage 4 of this process. (The third and final interview you will have)

Thank you this looks a tough process but lots of info on here

It is tough process, but, like you said, this forum is the best place for you to be!
It certainly helped me get far last time (and hopefully all the way this time )

All the best with the process Markdev!

Confidence lost? No. Should I sit here and wait? Yes. Hotel? Trivago.

What time you get yours mate

Hi baz,

I found it in the junk inbox and the email was sent yesterday at 17:00 (how I didn't see it I have no idea).

I submitted my application 2 days after it opened so it seems they are going through them as they were submitted like someone else said.

Good luck mate, it's an awful feeling waiting for news.

Has anyone else got a reply that says "We have received your application for the role of Trainee Depot Driver and we are currently still working on our shortlist for the interview. We will be back in touch soon to let you know if we will be asking you to come and meet us"....I'm fearing the worst but the wording is interesting ..."shortlist for interview"....stage 1 is the tests is it not?

Prepare for the worst and if it means you have skipped the assessments it will be a nice surprise. Or just email the lovely Tania and ask?

They might be reviewing your application again, in comparison to other similarly placed applicants.

I'd take that as a 'could go either way' for now.

Hope you get some good news soon!

Just keep trying if you don't make it this time!

If you passed assessments recently, it could be that you may skip Stage 1 and go to Stage 2.

Hi, I received the same email. Was wondering if it's what everyone got. I passed all assessments in April and mentioned it in my application.

 

[stjimmy87]

Its an agonising wait, I passed stage 1 n Jan 2018 and the rest in August 2016

 

[martin2345uk]
