A is for Albatross

So I had a job assessment today for South Eastern Trains.
There were 7 of us to start with, 3 got send home cause it sesms they didnt have the right paperwork.

There were 6 assessments in all

• a health and safety memory test
• a ticket checking test
• a maths test

after these 3 tests,  4 left us, and there were only 3 left, myself and two other guys.
We then had to do another 3 assessments

• a ticket selling test
• a role play
• report writing

The Health and Safety test gave you 4 paragraphs of info which you had to revise and then answer questions on.  Then the ticket checking test to see if you could understand rail tickets (50 questions to answer in 8 minutes) it was HARD. and then the mathematics test.  oh dear lord have mercy on me.  I can't believe I passed this one, with an A as well.  This coming from the girl who failed her Maths GCSE, 3 times, each time getting an even worse score than the last one.  I hate Maths, and I'm pretty sure it hates me too.

The last 3 tests, were pretty intense.  The ticket selling one was 30 minutes to work out the costs of each ticket, minus discount and what change was due.  There were 20 scenarios.  The the role play.

I hate role plays, and this was no different, the moment I came out of it, I thought of things I could have done better, things I should have picked up on, etc.  Then you had to write a report on the role play and record the incident that occured.

I still can't believe I got A's.
Dead chuffed to be fair.  This feels like the 1st thing (no wait, this IS the 1st thing) I have been successful at since job hunting from March.

Just have to wait and see when the interview is and how that goes.

If I pass that then I have a medical and we go from there!

Fingers Crossed for me!!!
