The most important things Network Rail look for are enthusiasm and willingness to learn! Everything else can be taught.

I'd say if you have any experience in customer driven environments, such as retail, to discuss that!

Hi Harvey - definitely! We're looking for transferrable skills so is just about you showing how what you've learnt in hospitality could benefit you in the apprenticeship e.g. customer focus, safety, delivering on time etc.

How long does it take on average for someone to respond to an application?

My application process took quite a while due to the volume of applicants, so don't be disheartened if you haven't heard anything within 4 weeks or so.
