Recruitment by the transit network in my town: 2) 1st interview

A week after spending screening tests, I get a call from the recruiter inviting me to a personal interview with the psychologist who we had passed the tests. We were late June, the rendezvous was fixed at the end of July. An additional month of waiting ...

The day of the interview is armed with my best shirt and my best shoes I went there. I have long hesitated to "make farting" suit and tie, but relatively many experiences I had in different types of jobs showed me that it is not necessarily appreciated in making too. See same as arise in the garment that is more or less than we will for the job is perhaps the best idea. For example, as a storekeeper I I am often presented in work pants and safety shoes (all nickel course!) and conversely for office jobs I hypothecation of a costume, a nice shirt and nice tie. The CR of our urban network bearing neither tie nor even for the most part their regulation uniform, I decided to make a simple, clean, mat and actually take a look similar to most of- them for their service: traditional leather shoes, well-cut jeans, nice shirt. Nothing more. Personally, I found it incongruous to arrive in costume for a job like this, and I think I have done well. (though I will adopt dress different tactics in subsequent interviews that I have with company officials in person, I'll explain why in a future article).

This initial interview, which lasted 1:30, is based on a principle of dialogue. I'm not bombarded with questions, I have no right to the usual on my qualities, defects, where I see myself in 10 years, etc.. The psychologist asks me just talk to me really quickly and we exchange our views on different aspects of the trade, business, my past life ... all smile. She finally released the result of the famous psychological test 300 questions, this is a sheet containing a dozen traits with graphs and explanations for each. Apparently I'm in the standard battery for most traits studied, except one or two where I deviate slightly. Good, good ... Apparently I'm not crazy! We discuss how these always sympathetic character traits: I am in agreement with what the results suggest? Can I give examples of situations experienced? For a few minutes later psy spring so obvious, but it must be good to go!
In the end, I feel that the interview serves just to determine if I have the personality type that may be suitable to the job of CR. We're not yet at the stage where we talk about my motivation, salary, working conditions, etc.. this will come later, with company officials.

The hour and a half goes by very quickly and at the end of the interview, the psychologist told me that there is a psychomotor test to pass. Hold on! Fortunately, I knew more or less what to expect through Yeril blog. The test which I am facing is quite confusing at first: to move with two cranks a mobile element in the middle of a narrow corridor that forms a circuit which will require the greatest number of laps in a given time. Avoid touching the edges of the corridor, lest buzzer mobile. The orientation of the cranks that this is not intuitive at all: for example it will turn clockwise crank placed before him to go back into the mobile ... The first round counts for nothing, and luckily because I make a disastrous performance! The psychiatrist offered me even a second round of testing. Fortunately, I ended suddenly mastered the craft (the time of the trick dip) and makes the final score that seems pretty good. The psychologist explains that in addition coordination of movements, the goal of the game was also to check the resistance to stress. Indeed, it is at 50 cm distance it scrupulously observes the candidate toil on the device, which is already in itself quite difficult to handle. Having found a way to joke with the therapist while performing the exercise, I spent the aspect of "stress" hands down;)

Before leaving, I learn that the 60 candidates who had presented screening tests, only 28 people were successful and are entitled to the appointment with the psychologist. Of the 28, the psychiatrist did retain a dozen for the following stages of the selection. And of that dozen, the company did keep at the end only 8 to begin training. I decide to go free and ask him point blank what are my chances at the end of this interview and, surprisingly, she informs me that there is a strong likelihood that I'm actually selected, given the candidates she has already met. However, I avoid too rejoice because it has left a handful to see. While I am, I asked what could be, she said that is a professional recruiting, my weak points that could cause my application to be less valued by those responsible Company. Again to my surprise, she seems satisfied that he poses the question and can answer honestly. The elements that give me will help me greatly in fact!

Moral of this recruitment so far: have a sincere attitude, open and frank seems to be working. There is no point trying to hide or just talk (as we sometimes believe it when you're a kid and we have not had a real job interviews) ... Do not hesitate to ask questions without fear of sounding a bit naive ... Being curious is after all a reflection of our motivation!

I know 15 days later whether or not I am selected for the following ... If yes, then I will right a face with two group leaders (chiefs who manage daily CR), an interview with the director of human resources, and a test drive in a van.

Recruitment by the transit network in my town: 1) screening tests

Ci-cons, a bus to Bangkok, Thailand. During my travels I have come to appreciate their impressive bus network, with a very diverse park, where older models alongside the most recent. I especially like the models "rustic." This example has a high floor and the engine is at the front beside the driver. It's been a goat of the devil, especially since the box is manual and that drivers often have a tendency to let the engine revs up very high ... But how charming! Photos taken

Along with my contacts with the various training centers, I soon felt the urge to work for urban transport in my town Since the EMT that I made at home. Good thing the company was just in the process of recruitment for the permit in-house training. You'll

even if the site is called "Driver-Receiver ..." because my dealings with this company have borne fruit. Indeed, this title usually refers to city drivers everywhere in France (except in Paris where they still wear the label "Machinist").

Being selected by a company of this size was not a simple thing ...

Following the application that I had returned (armed with a beautiful letter), I was summoned in the month of June for an afternoon of various tests from an outside search firm the company. The day

tests, we are a small thirty candidates, a total of about 60 whose cases have been deemed admissible. It's a psychologist who received us and makes us take the tests. They proved in principle quite similar to those spent with the AFT-IFTIM , but longer, varied and extensive.

Program:

• logical reasoning tests: stories flowing from taps, switches that turn a particular piece but not others, sequences of numbers that must find the next .. . Basically neither more nor less than what is typically found in IQ tests!
• representation tests in space: boxes of various shapes drawn in 3D which he must choose which paper folding in 2D can recreate the same form, diagrams of pulleys and levers effects that must choose which requires more strength, etc.. Short problems that are solved in the end that visually and intuitively, without calculation, and that verify that manages to accurately represent movements of complex shapes in space ... I guess to drive articulated buses in the city center, it might actually be important ;-)
• a mental arithmetic test, which allows easy whether you go be able to make money on the sale of tickets
• the icing on the cake that was not present for testing of the AFT-IFTIM: a personality test of 300 questions! It's quite long and a little disturbing because we feel that the test tries to identify truly all aspects of our psychology. only thing missing is the micro-probe inserted into the brain and the lie detector ... Anyway, I think it's best to be as honest as possible because the results will be analyzed by the psychologist, which my gut tells me she has a nose for detecting phonies ...

I think that's all ... It takes a total 3 good hours. In contrast, AFT IFTIM, there is no test of general knowledge and geography. By cons tests are generally more difficult. It feels pretty elitist will pick people who still have a little savvy. As I had said the operations manager a few weeks earlier: "we no longer want just turners wheel!" . I think that is clear.

We are taught that, if successful tests, we will be convened by the recruitment firm, for an individual interview with the psychologist in 1-2 months. No hurry ... that's for sure ... and we do were only the beginning!

Taken contact the training centers

As I explained in this article , one method for forming the permit D and FIMO, without spending between 4,000 € and 10,000 €, is to go around training centers in your area to find those who would have won a tender for the Region or Pole job. Allowing them to take a number of job seekers in training, all funded by the entity in question.

I am fortunate to have several centers in close proximity to my home. So I started in early June, contact with one who seemed the best known: the AFPA. Big disappointment for several reasons. Already, when there is a vacancy for a training near you and you fill out the appropriate form on their site, you are sent several days after confirmation of receipt and then ... nothing (tested and approved several times). Then the phone is not much better: during my first call, the manager informs me that the center is not ready to have budget for undertaking additional training because of budget cuts ... even though it is a session for which registration is open, according their site. A few weeks later, I see two new training courses appear on their site ... but the phone can not reach anyone aware of anything. And therefore unable to register. Not very serious stuff.

Promotrans and Forget: nice people inform me they have no budgets for job seekers right now, but it gives me the price and it tells me that I can be financed through a AFPR or an individual request from the Region. What I knew already but it's nice to have people who seem to know whereof they speak.

AFT-IFTIM: the jackpot. They look accustomed to this procedure, have regular budgets and for me therefore to scéance tests. I go there a few days later. These simple tests: reasoning, logic, spatial representation, general culture, a little geography (locate the major cities of France on a map). Not very complicated. I get a few days later a letter announcing the success of these tests and invited me to an individual appointment ... 2 ½ months later. Well, either ... The mail also states the necessity of making an EMT before the date of appointment ... I did two, I guess Enough!

To return to the AFT-IFTIM: two and a half months later, that is to say late August, I went to the interview face a charge. Not knowing what to expect, I confess that I did not particularly well prepared. The appointment will go pretty well though and look like a job interview, in shorter and cooler. I still entitled to the usual questions: "What are your strengths, what are your areas for improvement, why do you want to direct you to the transportation of persons ..." It does not last more than 15 minutes. I also want to ask some questions about the device. Learn while I'm at anyway priori included in the list of persons who may have access to training, subject to passing a driving test on road (truck eh, not by bus). We will contact me for this last test a few times as possible before my training. The only disturbing detail is that it is impossible to predict when a candidate actually be back in training. According to the dates of sessions, availability and external funding, the wait can last from a few weeks ... a year!

We are currently two months after this appointment and I do not always know more. I still do not was summoned for a test drive. It's been a total of 4 ½ months I had my first contact with the center ...

As I work in this trade before 2024, I had maximized my chances of funding by contacting the company also transit in my city ... I'll tell you in future articles the many steps incurred in this matter.

Second EMT: Suburban (Or extra-urban, inter-urban, short ...) First

Preamble: You can read the minutes of the EMT that I made here urban transport.

Curious to know a more about the driver's job coach specifically, I decided last June to make a second EMT with a bus in my area. One who accepted my request makes sightseeing transportation, regular lines and extra-urban transport for school kids in the countryside. I could not accompany the driver engaged in tourism because of découchage, the company obviously did not pay me as a mere "observer trainee. So on routes from the outback to the city center, on-line education, and transportation of kids to the gym I had the opportunity to accompany drivers.

Day : Kids

Taking early service is less than for urban routes, it does not start until about 7am. The company is much smaller and the atmosphere is pot luck: my tutor, also very nice, sometimes almost in slippers with curlers on her head. I kindly caricature of course, to illustrate the relaxation of this company, instead of the mandatory uniform in the urban transport company, its work to the minute and generally severe in their interventions.

Here you drive a car, even if it is not prime, it is true that it still has quite a pace, it requires more than the most beautiful and newest of the buses. Height issue probably because the length of 12 meters is ultimately the same. It feels good on the bus, it can also bring its own music, and it is generally more relaxed. The driving position of the bus, more cramped and austere (although this technology on board), somewhat reminiscent of the driver that he is ultimately one of the last links of society ...

The kids know all my tutor and she greets most by name. It's fun, time flies, especially since there is no need to pay our small school bus passengers since the fact subject to an annual subscription. It changes a lot the report we have with customers. However, it should remind them that sometimes the driver is the leader board and he must obey him no question of standing in the aisle or put feet on seats.

The route passes through several hamlets and borrows a number of country roads, between fields. It's nice, you wonder if it's work or vacation. It's nice, we are in June and this is my only day on this route. I suspect that every day do the exact same line in the dead of winter should be less fulfilling.
We're back deposit shortly after 9am. I come home, see you at 14:30 to bring other kids from their school to the gym before moving to the school office at night.

At 14:30 we found the deposit to get the kids in their schools. Once deposited in the gym, we leave the bus and we'll drink a coffee for an hour waiting for them. They then returned to their college before moving on the same line school this morning but the other way. The buses are already lined up outside schools and I understand that there is for them a certain hierarchy, a certain order of arrival and starting to follow, but in all honesty they totally escape me ... all I ask to understand the caste system in India!
Once accomplished our task, we're back to the filing shortly after 18h. The day is over, but before leaving the bus we go outside to the rollers and give it a clean sweep inside. About once a week, plus rolls, it is the responsibility of the driver make a phone karcher corners.

As you will understand, my tutor and working hours cut to part time. Most drivers of this company (and others in the region, I had to quickly learn) are half-time but can be often required to work overtime. Much in total that number as their standard of living is that of a full-time. The problem of the sector is not a lack of work but the irregularity of it. The workload depends on the schools that choose to do particular activities, reservations for sightseeing tours, seasons, etc. ... not to mention the last minute cancellations, apparently frequent. Difficult in these conditions to guarantee X hours of work per week to each driver. So it's usually after several years in the business we can claim a full-time.

Day Two: Line extra-urban

I still do not grasp the profound difference between the terms sub, extra and inter-city but that does not worry me too much: the operations manager does to understand anything either! We laugh together ...

I start to 6:20, this time with another tutor. We take a bus to make 2 round trips between downtown and the regional capital of a little town located about fifteen miles to the south. As for the school service, my guardian made every day the same route in the same vehicle (a Setra bus which almost looks like a car). My tutor leads every day the same line and the clientele is composed largely of regulars which one gets to know the routes, what they do in life, etc.. The atmosphere here is also quite relaxing , there are few customers and they have the word easy.

We return the deposit to 9.30. The line only operates during peak morning and evening. Here too, no full-time for my guardian.

Conclusion

Unable to accompany a driver in tourism, I can not say that the practice of the profession of conductor has a lot of difference between urban and extra-urban. Some aspects give me more desire to work in the city (full time, good salary package, variety of lines), others inspire me otherwise (attitude and customer coolest pleasant country roads). It is, after these two EMT, very difficult for me to choose exactly what type of business direct me to start my career.

Not yet licensed, I decide simply to try both options to knock on every door, and then ... come what may! I any case the idea of taste in all aspects of the profession throughout my career. I like variety, and once the license in hand I can not imagine not to try my hand at both the urban than international tourism, seasonal shuttle to the mountain or school transportation, to name some possible examples.

in future articles I will discuss the steps taken to find funding for my license ...
