Driver Career Path Interview

Post by SUNE17 »

Hello
I just got my interview date which is next week.
Has anyone been through this and can give me a heads up on what to expect? They said it was roughly 45mins long.

I'm currently on AL right now for a week so I'm going to revise my socks off!

Thanks.

Basically. You will be asked questions. relating to being a professional driver. breaks. drivers hours. hourly time off between weeks etc etc. You will be asked to give accounts when you have gone the extra mile for the business. So long as you don't act like a real buffoon and you have the seniority and skills over candidates applying for the same VOC. You will be put on the program.

I was told I would be notified via email, this waiting game is killing me, has the status of your application been updated on the success factors application page?
