Avanti - Trainee Train Drivers - Multiple Locations (28/02/23)

[SCDR_WMR]

Also negative

Has anyone any insight into situational judgement tests? I've obviously searched different variations of the wording and not much comes up re the style of questions, I thought it was a paragraph of text to read followed by 4 possible answers, most likely and least likely answer. However I've just found train driver SJT's online and a portion of the questions are around percentages, probability, averages etc...
Can anyone advise what the actual AVANTI SJT's are like, I'm not looking for answers.. but need to know if I need to re visit my Maths prior to this test if I pass papersift. I'm trying to be as prepared as possible.. thanks

It's paragraph followed by 4 options

They do not as they are not sat in a controlled environment

Deadline is 13th so not much time.

I think it's because they are designed to be answered as doing them rather than revising or practicing beforehand so as to give a truer reflection of the applicant

So it will have no affect whatsoever if u already in talent pool with another TOC?

Thanks. Literally just got the same email !..

 

[Fran1878]

Anyone who just applied for Liverpool had an email yet?

 

[SCDR_WMR]

No. But that might depend on if the TOC you're in the talent pool with checks your testing again before offering a contract of employment.

I.e. if you fail testing with Avanti and they other TOC checks you wouldn't get the contract. And there's the CBI/MMI to consider

Has anyone who applied for wolverhampton heard anything back yet?

 

[JimClark]

Has anyone who applied for wolverhampton heard anything back yet?

I've not heard anything back yet for Wolvs

 

[tigerted]

Please can someone enlighten me as to the difference between this role being advertised as trainee train driver and the one at the back end of 2022 being advertised as for the talent bank? Does this role bypass the need to sit in a talent bank?

Many thanks
