When applying for London Underground jobs it’s very important to go along with their rules and regulations. Here’s a small piece from the TFL’s website on how to prepare for your interview.

“Before attending an interview, review your application form. It is a good idea to bring a copy of your completed form to the interview so you can refresh yourself beforehand.

• Think through your work history and qualifications and consider how these apply to the post.
• Look at the evidence and examples that you gave of the competencies and knowledge required. Think about how you can expand on these in the interview.
• Prepare to answer both common and behavioural questions. Behavioural questions require the interviewee to recall a specific time when a certain behaviour or skill was required and successfully applied. Before responding, think through the situation, the tasks involved, the actions taken by you and others, and the results that were achieved.
• Once you are called into an interview or exercise, try to relax by taking a few moments to gather your thoughts.
• When answering questions, take your time and be thoughtful about your responses.
• Ask a few relevant questions about the job. If one of your questions is answered during the course of the interview, do not ask it for the sake of asking a question. Instead, consider whether you can expand on your original question.
• If you wish to jot down notes or answers to questions you have asked, you should feel free to do so.”
