You'd do best to seek advice from someone who's already in, or done the job before. What you think may appeal to them, might not actually be what works
No, I didn't get an interview either. I am a nurse and have been airline cabin crew for 6 years so I kinda thought that would tick the right box's but obviously not!
I did wonder if it was maybe all internal applicants they went for?
I was the only internal candidate there out of about 10-14 people.
Ok thanks, not too sure then?
Just keep trying
Some station jobs have come up at Manchester if that's of interest to you.
What was the closing date for the Euston csa position?, I haven't heard anything about the Piccadilly CSA job yet and the closing date was the 16/05/12, next to the application it just says submitted.
Hello
Today is my first day here.
I applyed for CSA Euston Station and received an invitation for the recruitment day but reading the posts I have noticed that some of you received some material before the recruitment day. So I am a little bit confused.
Well I applyed for other roles and had the math tests on line and have failed. They are trick, you don't have time to think. I am wondering if there will be the same, the same on line tests we take for some customer services roles.
Can anyone give me some help please?
Thank you
Bella
ive been a csa with virgin before. i preped for my interview and turns out i didnt need to bother. manager said ill be taught all i need to know about the company.
hardest part of the day will be the assessments. make sure you spend plenty of time with the prep material they will send you. youll also have a group discussion exercise. this shows how you interact with people you dont know. make sure you have your say, and dont just clam up. and if you get your chance bring the quiet ones into the conversation, this shows team work.
in your interview youll be asked what you know about the job. i can help with that if you wanna tell me what the job is and where ur applying. good luck.
youll have a comprehension test, and maths tests, that take the form of ticket issuing and ticket checking. then the people who didnt pass all of the will be sent home. and then youll go in for the group assessment. then after that you will have another elimination and the people left will be interviewed and considered for the role.
Thanks for the reply, the quote above is the first one. I haven't received any material just an email saying I would have a competency test, group test and interview. Maybe I am misunderstanding...That is why I am confused.

That is the second reason I am confused... , comprehension test, math, ticket... is that part of the competency test?
I really would appreciate some guidance, please?
Thank you very much.

TBH, A casual CSA position would suit me better so hopefully they will advertise your old position soon!
They're advertising at the moment for casual CSA's at Manchester
Do you do the maths assessment online at home or at the recruitment day?

With casual work, I assume they let you know what work is available and you can decline if you wish? It does say weekends only.
Thanks

I have my sources! :P Seriously though, I genuinely don't know what they are looking for.
Nobody has asked me! Well, I forwarded these mysterious assessment/interview guide files to one of my best friends and shared a couple of secrets with him...surprise surprise, he got the job. I've passed enough of their events to have some idea of what they're looking for
whooo, if at first you don't suceed try again !!
