TFL Graduate Scheme 2014 - Online Tests

Sorry for my delayed response!

The interview was literally as they say it will be on the website!

I had four competency based questions (maybe 3 I forget...) about the main competencies they list on their website, e.g customer service, time management etc.

I am applying for project management and my technical questions were to do with the stages of a project and what I felt were important things to consider. I guess it's something to weed out the people who aren't interested enough to do the basic research to find out what the job involves.

To answer people's queries about the difficulty of the numerical tests, I though they were fairly easy (but my background is chemistry so maybe I'm biased...!), it's easy to find loads of practice tests and I would definitely recommend at least doing the practice presented to ou when taking the test!

They have now confirmed my Assessment Centre date as the 16th! I'm very nervous, but quite excited!

Goo luck to everyone, and I will see anyone who is doing project management next Thursday perhaps!

I'm also on the assessment centre on the 16th, very excited! I couldn't make the one in December since I had an exam so I'm glad they called back for this one I'm a physics student though so I don't have much technical project management experience - I shall be doing a bit of research! How are you feeling about it?

I've been invited for assessment centre on the 6th of Feb for the road management scheme but I haven't had my email yet explaining what I'm going to have to do :/

I live a fair way away though and am going to have to book a hotel, so the biggest thing would be if someone knew where in london the assessment centres are held so I can book somewhere nearby/on the right tube line

It's by the North Greenwich tube station, which I know is on the Jubilee line.

Congrats on the assessment centre, I'm still waiting to hear if I have one or not for the same scheme. I had an oddly worded email saying I was being considered for an assessment centre but they couldn't confirm until they had finished the phone interviews. I guess that means I am on some sort of short list.

When did you have your phone interview out of interest.

My assessment centre has been cancelled because of tube strikes...

;D oh the irony.

Akua90, thanks, I'll try checking first thing in the morning!

That is annoying! Have they rescheduled you yet? They phoned me yesterday and confirmed that I had a place next Friday (the day after your original date I believe) maybe you'll be on that one too.
Have you received your email about the presentation etc yet?

I was offered that date, but I had other commitments that I couldn't move. I'm hoping they're going to run another assessment centre a bit later in the month.

How did it go??

They mentioned another one was happening in March. It was a pretty intense day, but everyone was really nice. It went ok, but I kept on thinking of things I should have done differently once I had left...I guess I'll find out next week how I did.

Good luck for yours
