Hi!

My panel interview for Conventional Driver is on Monday morning. I am a bit nervous...what experiences do you have with it? is it that hard?
Kr6505...how was yours today? Did you pass?

 

I was so nervous. I hope I answered the questions ok. It only took half an hour. I will know something within a week.
Good luck to you!

 

Thanks! Same for you. What questions did they ask?

 

Th

this is so weird. I just checked my email and I have been shortlisted for the conventional transit operator position and asking me to schedule a video test. I already done that Dec 4 and passed. I also had my panel interview today too. Does this mean I have to go through it all again?
Confused..

 

Call HR if you have any questions.

 

The quickest that they got back to be was 45 minutes and that was by email.

So keep an eye out for that!

Doesn't have to be a picture perfect interview just like how @ConventionalMan said it.

Just as long as you answered everything in minimal nerves, should be good to go.

Seems like they're hiring lots of people! But they're slowing down the pace for the recruiting steps.

A person I know just recently passed their video test but interview is set for February 15th.

 

Keep us posted when they call you Kr6505

 

Talked to one of the operators who is an acting instructor and told me he's booked for a solid month for training new operators.

Not sure how many classes there are in total. I'm aware of 3 that's in session right now.

 

Had at least one Op retire yesterday out of Richmond. Rumours (always rumours) of "a few" going in May as well.

 

We have a few here at VTC that's about to retire also.

I had my interview today. I think I did well...I hope they will call me.
