Operative MMT rejection, what is the roles requirements?
Just looking for some clarification.
Applied for this role 18th June. Rejected 22nd June with the following message:
"Your application has now been reviewed against the specific role criteria by the hiring manager. We're really sorry to let you know that you haven't been invited to interview on this occasion.
Whilst this role wasn't the right fit, we hope you'll consider applying for other opportunities with us in the future."
However in the initial vacancy, it reads: "Our operative community comes from a variety of different backgrounds, and this might be the first time that you've even considered a career in rail. We're focused on your transferrable skills and behaviours and if you can demonstrate that, then we will provide you with all the necessary training to have you working safely and competently out on the network"
Now granted I'm not from a railway background but looking for a change. My previous experience is in automotive and PSV engineering and even some structural welding and fabrication. Currently in a role that deals with outdoor maintenance of many kind of structures, small building tasks, joinery and vegetation work. So I'm wondering just what transferable skills they are looking for from outsiders into the industry?
Thanks in advance.
