LNER seem to constantly recruit but never heard of anybody actually getting a job with them!

Normally achieve thousands of applicants and maybe only a handful actually get the job. And its likely people aren't on the forums just by simple probability.

Regarding the recorded video interview are they question regarding yourself ie. Why you’d be suitable, tell us a time etc.. or are they more to with the company ie. What do you know of lner etc..

Just done mine, I'm generally pretty good at face to face interviews but I really didn't like doing that. Dunno why but felt more pressured just recording myself than when I'm talking to an interviewer.

What sort of questions did you face? Were they more regarding yourself and past experiences or more in line with what you know about the company?

Yeah just about yourself. Nothing about the company.

Did you guys who took the video interview get invited to it immediately after taking the verbal reasoning test or did it take a little bit to invite you ? Thanks

I’ve now uploaded them on professional qualifications on the profile page but still nothing, or is it supposed to send you a message about uploading pictures of them ?

Video interview done, hated every second of doing it, especially hearing my rambling voice played back, feel I did a highly average job too but we’ll see if it was enough, good luck to all!

it should be under supporting files, on the 'my application form' page.
if u have, just ignore me and wait.

Hello everyone. I'm a little confused about the "Leeds & Doncaster" element, It states the location is in Leeds on the job advert.

Is this a multi depot role or do successful candidates get to choose to be based at either Leeds OR Doncaster?

Many thanks in advance if someone knows the answer to this :)

At a guess, I’d assume they need to fill vacancies at both depots. I’d also assume that they would offer you a vacancy at either Leeds or Doncaster depot depending on the businesses requirements taking into consideration your distance from either depot.

Hi Sami
What were the questions asked if you don't mind asking? I'm preparing for a video interview for another TOC in a different role, and never done one of these before. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You should really prepare on your own without asking for specific questions so you don’t have an unfair advantage over other people.

Sorry, that's rubbish.

Most people don't research before applying. Most who apply here, fail.

There are drivers and successful applicants from this forum that perhaps only got through because they researched the application process.

If you aren't researching the role, the process, how to respond etc... Then I'd be worried.

It isn't about being fair or equal. Give yourself every advantage you can.
