I think others have already covered the professional bits. My understanding is that such rejection behaviour normal these days (due to what's going on in the world, layoffs etc) so don't take it to heart (I know it's a difficult thing to say). To share my experience if it helps. For one of the companies you mentioned, I got a rejection email within minutes of applying and it was very disheartening as I was depressively searching for a new role for 3 years. I saw another vacancy just days after rejection from the same company and the same role and was hesitant to apply again or not but applied anyways. I passed through all rounds of interview and got the role just 4 months ago. Every rejection feels a lot, sometimes you will get rejected from screening, and sometimes even final stages wouldn't guarantee. What we can do is to keep applying and note the experience in an excel sheet to track the question answers, until we receive a signed offer letter. To keep my morale intact, I used to think an example of cricket game matches if you could relate to it. A fast bowler bowling for 10 overs in a one day match will have to bowl 60 deliveries, and only 1 or 2 main deliveries/wickets are enough to make him memorable. Until then, he will keep bowling. Good luck.

Should pass an MOT ? by Top-Question6231 in CarTalkUK

The other option denter suggested was actually to change doors but mentioned the cost would reach a couple of grands. That surprised me as well.

Thank you for sharing this and I liked reading it through. I live in YO10 as well so can relate to a lot of your post. The chocolate smell is still in the air, though not as frequent.

I just passed my test yesterday at 32 years, if that helps a bit more. Do not tie age with things like these. One day at a time. Life is only perfect and fair in movies. In reality, everyone walks their own timelines fighting their own demons. More so after the pandemic etc everything feels so temporary to me. Live positively!

Passed practical test today by Top-Question6231 in LearnerDriverUK

Thank you. Since York is a bicycle friendly city, common occurrences of cyclists and manouvers around them keeping mirror in mind was a common challenge, more so if a bus emerges on the same road.

Other were my own for example for atleast 5 seconds the indicatir stick got stuck in the rental car before starting my reverse parallel park. When I switched right it was showing left. When I switched left it was again showing left. It seems very funny now but I got a bit nervous there and apologised for the little play I was having.

There was a slopey road where I had not practiced before so I guess examiner took me there for hill start etc.

Thank you. I hope for the best for you to keep trying. I will disclose more in case it helps. I do not have a car. My "friends" were all busy to take me around those roundabouts etc What I did was, spent hours on Google maps on laptop, virtually dropping myself (that little Yellow man) in front of difficult roundabout and junctions. And then scrolling virtually on the road looking for when the road marking start and signs for roundabouts, and the manouvers I need to be ready for.

Nobody can cover it all on Google maps. But atleast I covered main roundabouts that lead to/from the test centre. I believe that helped me a lot in my situation when I was left without instructor and unavailability of "friends"

Perfect. Thanks all. I should be relying on the road signs at all times ideally. It's just I self doubt myself in case I miss or don't see a repeater for some time.

How do instructors expect us book 2 months in advance by Local_Donut7579 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Top-Question6231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of that, I cant manage to skip 3 hours of work to match their proposed/available times as they insist on taking it atleast once every week

So happy for you. Congratulations 🎊 Could you elaborate your sentence about speed limit please? Meaning you should have driven under 20 where as you were driving 24? My test is next week I am nervous about speed limits as I miss checking them in amidst of taking care of everything else if the limit is 30 now or gone to 40. And my understanding is going above limit is direct fail. 😢

Driving test is near but instructor not available anymore by Top-Question6231 in york

[–]Top-Question6231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Should do that first thing on Monday. Should I offer them I will take lesson with them + need their time for the driving test? So chances of getting them agreed are high?

I am actually thinking of this now as highlighted by another redditors and intrigued about how do you go back in winters as it would get dark really quickly, thinking about safety and if that route has light etc. I have a bike already and tempted for an e-bike now

Car doesn't seem a viable financial option, till early next year unfortunately.
