Yeah, it certainly was disappointing. Because of the months it took to get that far I’d kind of got my hopes up even though I tried not to forbthis very reason.
I asked for feedback and all I was told was that they had an overwhelming number of applicants and my answers to DMI questions weren’t as comprehensive as other peoples’. Seemed like the generic response to be honest. There were 4,000 applicants so I was please to get where I did, although it was all on aptitude and passing tests, rather than looking at my CV and my suitability etc up until the interview, as with all candidates so I guess it depends how you look at it as to how lucky that was?
I think there will be other intakes with Freightliner, hence the most recent campaign (they weren’t recruiting again for Eastleigh which is where I went for, which I’m pleased about otherwise I’d be seriously wondering what I did so wrong...
).
I’m hoping Colas start recruiting soon so I can get the ball rolling again....I’ve kind of caught the bug now and really want this. Good luck to you!
