Someone I know has not long had a email back saying they have passed the SJT

It seems strange that only one person is reported to have recieved a 'passed' e-mail. Anybody else had one? I would have thought they would be sent out in their hundreds.

They are internal.
but yes it is rather strange. Maybe people have and just don’t want to disclose anything .
Maybe...... Though in my experience people are a lot happier to tell the world about having passed a test, rather than when they've failed.

Yeah I applied for New St and still haven't heard back yet. I'm guessing the longer it takes you to hear back, the further down the shortlist you get. Who knows though lol

Are any of you able to log into the careers portal? Mine says that it’s an invalid email and password but it’s worked before?

Well after logging into my portal it still says application under consideration- so I can only presume that those that have the same as what I have...just have to wait until the next stage. I don’t think anyone who wasn’t received anything has been unsuccessful because one person who has applied for the position has got “this application has been unsuccessful” so I wouldn’t worry about not receiving notification

Yeah.. I just logged in too and mine says ''Application under consideration''. I'm guessing at this point we must have passed the SJT and our applications are being reviewed manually.

My advice is try and not check your emails too much as it will drive you mad. somebody else posted go about your daily lives as normal. Which is good advice. It's a long long process. SJT is just the tip of the iceberg

Agreed. The reality is if you are in demand, they’ll contact you. Calm down, enjoy it and just observe.

The application process for this role (at any TOC) is partly luck of the online system & algorithms. After failing final interview with London Overground, I applied to Southern. They didn't even give me a chance at their online SJT, despite having passed all the OPC tests. Ex-colleague drivers at my previous TOC said there was some luck involved.
Has anybody heard anything today?
Not yet... Staying hopeful
