If it's for a Train Op role they will almost certainly take all the results into account, especially as they are overwhelmed with applications.' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0

But if any of it was perhaps a little 'embellished', and your forgot what wrote (or made up some previous jobs or exam results), you could slip up. Obviously, you didn't do any of this, did you...?
Funnily enough at my interview they didn!!!8217;t have my application form in front of them. They asked me 5 competency based questions and that was it. I thought it was odd to honest, but I asked someone who currently works for them and they said same thing happened at there interview. They later got the job though.Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0 -
