    So do I have this right: people got the job, left their original job, attended training, and then are told there is no work for two months?!

    Yes that's very worrying if its correct!
  • I have just completed mine and was a complete shambles. Messed up on the connection the clutch pedal. They told me that you can re apply to do the manual assessment.

    Anyone know how you can do this would be greatly appreciated as don't think I have done it justice the first time round.
  • Hi guys just got a phone call yesterday telling me I have passed my online assessment for Halewood. My manual assessment is a next week, do Halewood and the other plants have different assessments? Is anybody else looking at joining Halewood for this intake?

    Someone has been telling you lies, I can tell you that's not the case.

    declan199210, can you expand on that?

    At CB,

    Weekday OT, Time + 1/3rd for the first couple of hours (can't exactly remember how many)then Time + 1/2.

    Saturday, Time +1/2

    Sunday, Double Time.

    These are the OT rates I have worked.

    So that's exactly what I said.
    Saturday - normal pay plus 1/2 (150%)
    Sunday - double time (200%)
    :D

    You can re apply after 3months starting your journey from the beginning. .. so by doing online assessment again and waiting for invitation for manual one.

    Hi everyone. First timer and love the sharing on here. I just wanted to find out if I have done the wrong thing.

    I indicated interest in the halewood opportunity online and got an invitation via email to complete an online assessment after a while. I logged in and was only asked general questions about my level of experience in several areas like spraying, fitting etc. This was unlike the solihull one that I applied for about the same time as the halewood one. I did two sets of question after doing the general questions on level of experience. I got to manual assessment stage and was rejected on that occassion.

    Is it normal or should I have done the two sets of questions in the course of applying for the halewood opportunity?

    Does anyone know how long the interview, drug test etc will last for?
  • Guys, how long do they usually take to get back to you after the online assessment? Thanks in advance.
