Working in Royal Mail

Well..

There seems to be some good and bad points. Guessing that happens everywhere! (almost) Just came from my interview. Got some of Barnabee questions as well.
Got the 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. . Only 5! I've meet the manager there! Talked about 10m to 15m then I went to the interview. Everyone was very nice, just relaxed me a lot.

Now I need to wait to know anything! Lets see what happens! Everything that Barnabee says its what they told me that would happen if im chosen. Thanks everyone for the advices!!

Humm I don't think that they stopped doing 25h contracts yet. There's one vacancy in Louth right now:

Contract length: Permanent
Hours of work: 25 hours per week working 5 days across Monday to Saturday, 07:30 - 12:30

Hi i think the advice barnabee has given covers everything.I had my interview in January just remember to take all the relevant paperwork as one of the interviewees didnt at mine and he was sent away to come back on another date.Just relax im sure you will be fine the online assessment was the hard bit:D

Congratulations!! :beer:

Just read Barnabee post again, because thats what it will happen to you! Was almost the same to me. Start thinking in some responses to those questions and explore them. Don't forget to bring the copies and the original documents as well. You will be fine!

I was rejected by ASDA today! No one is rejected by ASDA!! :mad:
Just give us news after that interview! (and don't be late!!)

Regards

Edit: Just got an email from Royalmail: We are sorry to inform you that on this occasion your application has not been successful and we are unable to offer you the position.

And there I go again..

the other thing is you will prob not know your day off until the friday before when they know which staff are off, so hope you can be flexible. the full timers get a rolling day off if thats how it works so every 5 weeks they get a long weekend, but part timers cover whatever they are told.

Sorry to hear that
I know that feeling well, 7 interviews and 7 rejections in the last 10 days:mad:
Just keep going and we will get there I guess.

I have some answers ready for the questions in Barnabee's post so hopefully should have that covered.

Meanwhile, blow the expense, its the wife's birthday so we are going for a meal tonight, I will worry about the cost tomorrow:D

Frankly, I would work all weekend if needed just to get back in the land of the living!

My last job was very flexible, I worked to suit my customers so hopefully that will stand me in good stead.
