    Are you willing to take a cycling proficiency test? (I'm assuming the job involves delivery, not just sorting.)

    Dealing with people, how would you react to angry customers, how reliable you are at getting up early in the morning

    a bit about maths, and a test of postcodes according to dh

    hi tracey

    Can you please ask your partner what questions he was asked in the interview.

    thanks:)
  • Hi Daku
    my partner does 22 and a half hours a week starts 8-30 finishes 2.15 and plenty overtime,its good money

    my partner was saying they do the interview with a points based system, I think you get more points depepnding on how you answer the question
    Also they will bring up topics like flexibility, what you can bring to the company, what role do you think Royal Mail has, working as a team, with the public you know kinda generic questions,try and ask some of your own aswell,you look more keen if you do.

    good luck and you will get the job :T
