I passed my formal interview in March and I've been invited back to a top-up interview this week at the Manpower offices. Does anyone have any idea what this entails? Cheers

Hi I passed my interview in March and still waiting. What is the top up interview. I've not heard about this and which site did you apply for. I applied for solihull

I applied for Solihull, and I have no idea. I've got to go in tomorrow for a 20 minute top up that's all I know.

Ask them if they have an idea on start dates and report back!

Ok thanks. Good luck for tomorrow. Did they phone you about the top up interview or did you phone them and let us know what it entails please

Hi Everyone

called up manpower today to find out if they had any updates. Heres what they said. Be warned it isn't pretty.

They said that Solihull and Castle Bromwich aren't recruiting now untill start of next year. No exact date has been given. We're all going to remain on the list for start dates but we won't really have an idea of start dates untill January. Which will most likely be at the castle bromwich plant.

In the meantime they said they'll be calling people back for 'Top Up Interviews" as stated above. They said this is only to keep their records updated and such.

I know annoying right!

I was told to wear comfortable clothing like a tracksuit. Take photo I.D with you. The test was 8 minutes long which involved screwing parts together with nuts and bolts and placing diferent coloured magnets inside of a car. There is a set way which in everything has to be done so pay attention to the demonstration.

thanks for the reply.....

do i need to bring gloves with me ? or is everything provided

i am just going to wear trainers, a tshirt and some jogging bottoms....

ive been given this address for the assesment centre

Recruitment Centre, Manpower UK Ltd, Unit 75, Gravelly Industrial Park, Birmingham, B24 8TL

is it easy to find?

i saw the map on the email they sent me and it looks very confusing

i will be driving so lets hope there is some parking

No problem. That is pretty much what I wore. They will provide you with gloves just take I.D with you. You can't really prepare , it's simple but the time goes very quickly.
