    Hello everyone, I am having my assessment on Monday and I am hoping to pass it and to move on. I have done similar process which took 4 stages with Toyota 18 Months ago and although I was given conditional job offer ( They will take me on as soon as Toyota starts hiring again), I am still waiting 18 Months on to start and that's why I applied for Jaguar who are taking people on now rather than putting them on a list and making them wait for Months or even Years. Question for those who work through manpower. Have any of you been offered a car privilege scheme where you could lease an ex management car from Jaguar? Blue arrow who supplies staff for Toyota offers that for new employees and I am not sure if manpower does the similar as it would be useful for me due to sheer mileage I will be putting on provided I am offered the position. Good luck to those who are trying to get in.

    You can't get on the car scheme until you have your FTC I believe which is 2 years service.

    Has anyone got the address for the airport parking?

    It states that it should be attached to the documents I have but it's not.

    It's actually at the Airport , if your driving towards the terminal it's the first left at the island I believe it's actually called long stay car park 1. Just has a big JLR logo outside so you can't really miss it.

    I've been there about 5 months I think now.

    Nerves are understandable but try to relax and listen to what the instructions are very carefully and you will be fine you have a set time to do the tasks but try not to rush just a good pace best of luck
