How you find them? My numerical was a disaster. Interface was so clunky and responding poorly. Only managed to get 12 done.

Cienciano

I did them. I think I did ok in them all except numeracy, the 5 minutes goes fast. Understanding of Instructions was another with not much time if you have to read all. Even though the subject is repeated, 24 questions in 8 minutes is tough

TallGlass

Here's to waiting now. Anyone know, do many people apply for the role?

tooler12

I asked them how long would it take and they said they had 6500 applications

Cienciano

For how many positions? 100?

Probably less

I'm fúcked so

TallGlass

70 positions guys, didn't think there would have been 6.5k applications. Mental, I am in a fairly alright paying job at the moment. But I just don't get the feeling it's a 'lifetime' job if they exist.

Cienciano

Definitely worth getting in. I suppose it's possible to finish the apprenticeship and not get kept on too

True, the good positive is the grid is expanding so if anything there is a need for more techs. Hope I get over the first hurdle, the tests where fairly hard to be fair.

The tests weren't easy, some job going through 6500 applicants. Wonder if many don't even make it to the online tests? Going by past threads, probably won't hear anything for a couple of months

Best of luck to him! I'll count myself out now so.

tobey

Any body else got any interviews yet or have they all been released.

jen80mcd

Has anyone heard if the interviews are finished yet?

Mauramol

My son had an interview 2 weeks ago and they told him that they would be interviewing for about 3 weeks
