Your first day working on LUL

I think the interview process is more nerve racking!

well yeah passed the exams with flying colours, jsut the roleplay was the problem, but how the hell do they expect you to act out a real life situation in a dinky room with 2 chairs and a person scribbling away in the corner!

Roll plays are easyish. I say be the best damm actor you can be and the interviewer is hardly going to rate you down if your acting skills aren't on the level. Dive Dive Dive!

I was on a dead early shift at Old St, on my own for for the first two hours, then another Sa assisted me from about 0700. Nervous, but excited, and eager to please.

Seems like a long time ago. The Sa job is pretty easy, in general.

on my first actually day my dsm had plans for me but somehow everything went up in the air and i ended up working at notting hill gate, during my turn there was a one under at earls court so i got a baptism of fire herding the sheep

Just read this.........I'll detail my first day on my own, after I'd completed training and familiarisation.

My first day as an SA was a 0700 - 1600 duty at Shepherds Bush Central. There had been only one SA on from 0500 (normal) and I was joined by another gent who was in my class at Ashfield House. I had a McDonalds breakfast before I started (I eat too much junk) and we shared the platform duty between us. I was on the Eastbound from 0900 - 0930, just doing announcements. I had lunch on a park bench on Shepherds Bush Green and just did gateline apart from that 30mins on the platform. I seem to remember I did one station check too.

About half way through the shift a disabled person got seperated from the carer she was with (it was an elderly lady) and it was the first time I had to do some rushing about! I found her and used the radio to let the SS know. She was re - united with the carer, and a Central Line manager (who was just passing) boarded the train with them and used an autophone to organise assistance at the other end. Not long after a Chinese lady had a Rolex watch (never found out if it was real or not) ripped from her wrist by two people who fled out of the station - we didn't know why they were running till it was too late. Various episodes of barrier vaulting and double - shuffling took place, which I was told was normal at that station.

Also, two gents with what looked like microphones stood in the booking hall all day - they were doing a 12 hr 0700 - 1900 shift - the equipment was testing for vibration in the building - what a boring job!!!
