Not to my knowledge, I have just applied myself and have received confirmation of my application via email, I would try again if I were you.

Got my application in on the 1st. First attempt and a complete career change for me. One wonders how many applications they can have taken in only 2.5days, sure not the thousands we regularly read about?

I failed dm interview with this company 6montgs ago so I'm hoping to get through the sifting so I can go straight into a dm interview again instead of retaking all the tests. Good luck to all who applied

I didn't get any feedback but I know where I went wrong. It was the worst interview I had undertaken in my life. I didn't prepare myself well enough.

I'm guessing as nobody else has heard anything other than Biff. Hopefully no news is good news!

Not sure why the Kings Lynn jobs were advertised as there are no jobs going there. It's unheard of for Lynn to take on trainees. The Cambridge vacancies may exist but don't get your hopes up for Lynn-think it's a mistake.

Mine just states "Application Submitted". How long does it usually take to get a response? This is my first time applying so I assumed I didn't get processed until I just read your post.

Still not heard a thing, not even a PFO email. Maybe 45mins from the depot is too far for their liking.

I'm 52 mins, they seem to have an order they go through with inviting people for assessments probably by scoring them. Don't give up hope just yet as you've not been told no.

Has anyone who has had an interview in last few weeks for Cambridge or King Lynn had the result yet? I was told within 7 days but I've not heard. For anyone else is this normal?

Cheers
