Hi,
Just wondering how the assessment day looks like? Group and individual exercises? Any examples what to expect? Thanks in advance.
It’s the usual thing, introduce yourself, why do you want to be a driver, what do you do now etc. Then there’s a mix of group and individual tasks, think what skills and qualities are important for the role, you’ll need to do this as a group and as an individual where it’s a little more in depth, there’s quite a few breaks while they discuss candidates and then you usually have lunch. They will likely cut people after lunch and then depending on if they do it on the same day, you may have a driver manager interview. This can go on for 45-90 mins depending on how you get on.
Sorry, can’t be too specific as it needs to fair to all - there’s nothing to catch you out, just be yourself, don’t pretend to be what you THINK they’re looking for. Know the role and responsibilities inside out along with company info, routes, depots, rolling stock, etc.
Read up on non technical skills - this is a huge part of driving.
Hope this helps! Good luck all, it’s not a real job, it’s a paid hobby!
