Why Do You Want To Be A Train Driver Interview Question and High-Scoring Answer!

Example answer:

“I want to be a train driver for several reasons.

At a young age, I had much admiration for train drivers and it was always a career I have dreamt of pursuing, knowing I could make a positive difference to people’s lives on a regular basis.

Although I knew many of the qualities needed to be a train driver already, before applying, I conducted thorough research into the role to ensure I fully understood the requirements and what would be expected of me as a train driver.

Being a train driver means I must operate safely at all times, follow all rules and procedures, maintain excellent concentration, work well under pressure to a consistently high-standard, be flexible, customer focused, and communicate clearly. I believe I have frequently demonstrated I have these skills in my previous roles. And this high-level of responsibility really appeals to me as I am someone who sets the highest of standards in everything I do.

I want to be a train driver as I will enjoy the fact that I will need to apply myself, continually learn and stay up-to-date with the latest rules and procedures, and maintain my own physical and mental health.

I also appreciate that this TOC will need to invest time, energy, and money to train me as a trainee train driver, and I believe, along with my determination and loyalty, the skills and qualities I have gained so far in my career put me in a strong position to excel in the role of a train driver. Finally, I want to work in a disciplined organisation that strives to always serve its customers.”
