Here’s the FULL LIST of TRAIN CONDUCTOR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you think you could excel as Train Conductor?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“Thank you for inviting me to be interviewed for this Train Conductor position today. Throughout my career, I have developed a variety of transferrable skills and experience that I believe will enable me to excel as a Train Conductor. I am a highly positive and effective employee who thrives in customer-focused environments.
During my time in previous customer service roles, I learnt to fully understand the importance of consistently maintaining high standards of customer satisfaction. Without the customer there would be no company, so it is important that every member of the team works towards providing a high level of service.
I have a proven track record of delivering a great service, being an excellent communicator and adaptable, whilst always being safety-conscious at all times. I have previously obtained a health and safety certification, and therefore, I can be relied upon to perform all procedures relevant to the codes of conduct and will not put myself or others in any danger whatsoever.
Outside of work I am driven by my family who are fully supportive of my career and the variety of shift work that comes with the job. I enjoy hobbies such as going to the gym where I can maintain healthy fitness and concentration levels. If you employ me in this position, I will be a reliable, driven, and safety conscious Train Conductor who will be proud to represent your brand and deliver excellent customer service for your customers.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for our Train Operating Company?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I have been looking at a number of TOCs and I have been especially impressed with your company’s values, ethics, customer focus, and forward-thinking approach.
The ‘Meet the Managers’ programmegives passengers the chance to meet Senior Managers and Directors and talk with them about the service. This demonstrates a high level of customer focus and care and I want to work for such a company as I believe I can bring the same high standards to the team.
I also understand that, over the next two years, your TOC aims to create a company that not only looks and feels different, but provides passengers with a better travelling experience.
I believe that, whilst working with your organisation, I would have excellent career opportunities and therefore, be very happy in my role as a Train Conductor.”
