Are you on the right tracks?
The right tracks quiz
By wanting to complete this quiz, you’ve already shown that
you’re interested in what Network Rail is all about. Your
inquisitive nature could be a real asset here, so we hope this will
encourage you to think in more depth about what working with us
would mean, and the sort of people we need to find.
Right tracks focuses on what drives you and what you really want
to get out of your career. We know that different people are
motivated by different things in the workplace: this quiz will help
you think about your ambitions and how they ‘fit’ with our vision
and values. Although we have many different graduate schemes,
successful candidates share common qualities, so this quiz doesn’t
focus on one particular programme. Instead, it looks at what gets
our graduates out of bed in the morning, working in all types of
weather and with all types of people, to provide a professional
service to the public.
We want you to think about three things: whether this is the
right place for you; whether you would be happy working with us to
achieve our goals; and whether we could really get you fired up
about your career. There’s no pass or fail to this quiz and it
is not a part of our recruitment process. We’re simply giving
you the opportunity to consider if we’re right for you and if
you’re right for us, before any formal application or assessment
process takes place.
Naturally, your results are confidential and we don’t store or
use them in any way whatsoever. They are for you to take home with
you, which means there’s no point in trying to give us the answers
you think we’ll want to hear.
Instructions
You’ll be presented with a series of short statements and it’s
entirely up to you to decide if you agree with the statement or
not.
The right tracks quiz includes 52 statements, and while there is
no time limit, we encourage you to go with your first answer.
You'll be asked to respond to statements similar to this
one:
"I find that I am most effective when working on my own"
There is no right or wrong answer because you’re simply
responding with how you feel about the statement. You are asked to
rate how accurately it represents your approach to work, by
selecting one of the following responses:
- I strongly agree
- I agree
- I disagree
- I strongly disagree
You’ll be given a summary of your responses to help you
understand how your personal approach, needs and beliefs complement
what we’re doing here at Network Rail.
Important - this quiz is not part of our formal
assessment process and no selection decisions are made based on
your results. We do not capture your results and cannot guarantee
success at application stage or progression through to any part of
our formal assessment if you complete this quiz. This process is
designed to offer you a chance to consider your motivations and
whether you share our values.
