No assessment on the day due to no HGV license of any kind. But they were impressed with my attitude and knowledge

I was asked questions surrounding my current job, why i wanted to move into logistics and then questions about HGV in general. Which i managed to answer even though i dont have a HGV licence.

And no i've not heard anything yet. Been nearly 3 weeks since my interview
