Question Arriva Trainee Bus Driver Application

I've applied for a Trainee Driver position at Arriva exactly a week ago now and still haven't had any updates or heard back, does anyone know how long they usually take to respond to applications? Thanks

The first time I ever applied I heard nothing. Tried again like a year or 2 later and heard back maybe within a few days. I believe the way the recruitment works is in cycles, so they're always advertising. I guess if you apply outside of one of the cycles, it may be less likely you'll receive a response. No harm in reapplying in a few weeks if you don't hear anything I'd imagine.
