Depends on what the job is. It might be that they are looking with someone with experience/ terminology, but then they have no chance in 'moulding' that person to the job they want. Personally, be honest in an interview, be enthusiastic and willing to learn. Terminology comes with experience and it doesn't take long. |

As somebody with experience interviewing people who wish to join the railway industry i would never expect anybody to know terminology.
A good knowledge of the project and an enthusiastic approach is much more attractive.
If for example its Crossrail you want to work for then research the whole crossrail project ,stations, tunnels, passenger numbers that should be enough to impress.
Railway construction is very specialised and only people within the industry already should be expected to understand railway terminology |

Lmao - some of those responses really made me laugh!
The job just requires knowledge as opposed to working knowledge so figure I just need to research the most common and take it from there |
