    CB gets 3 weeks shutdown?


    Instead of the May one?

    No, at CB we get Christmas, two days Easter, Whitsun week, Summer and a floating week which you can book for when you want.

    The summer shut down varies in length depending on how Christmas fall with the weekend etc (last year was 2 weeks 3 days), and at CB you don't get bank holidays unless they fall in a shutdown.

    This years CB holidays are,

    Fri 1st Jan
    Fri 26th, Mon 28th March (Good Friday and Easter Monday)
    Mon 30th May - Fri 3rd June (Whitsun Week)
    Mon 25th July - Fri 12 Aug (Summer)
    Mon 26th - Fri 30th December (Christmas)
    plus your floating week.

    First week of August is the middle of the shut down.

    I assume you'll be doing your 2 weeks Pera ready for when the factory re-opens on the 15th.

    Have they given any indication of the areas you might be put?


    Oh is it ? God knows . Start date is the 8th and have to go in on 28th to take ID photos ect .

    They haven't give us any info apart from that so far !!

    When did you do yours exactly? I did mine on the 1st feb. Apparently theyre not holding interviews at the moment. They could call anytime from now till may.
    You had your start date yet
  • They have got interviews ongoing as i had mine last week. No response as of yet as to whether i passed or not. Had a few of ny customers who work at jlr saying they are recruiting at castle brom. Asking if they can forward names on etc to fast track people.

    Fingers crossed my name gets mentioned lol
  • Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if you fail the manpower online test for JLR how long do you have to wait before you can do the test again.
    Many thanks in advance. Paddyjc

    Can anyone who has had a start date recently confirm if its a mobile number the call comes from??
  • We (employees) were told just before shutdown that if we know anyone waiting to hear from manpower, to pass their details to manpower office and we can have them fast-tracked..

    Thanks for info stinky finger

    However, do i give my details via phone or we have to pop in the office?

    Any reply would be appreciated. Once again thank you very much for sharing
  • Not sure.. i would say its better to drop into the manpower office and give them the details of the person you want fast tracked..

    Hi Mate, just was wondering when do you start your powertrain training? I've been waiting for a start date since early December so getting abit frustrated at the wait, be grateful for a response with when you start.

    thanks
