Application for job through website, wont say SUBMITTED

Post by richardw »

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help, I have recently completed the online application for a job with Royal Mail as a Postman. I have completed all my details correctly and the two tests, however the status of my application will not say SUBMITTED, it simply says TEST FINISHED:
Candidate: Richard Wood
Last application: Postman/Woman with Driving - Calderway
Status: TEST FINISHED

Test Name For Position Status
Royal Mail Sorting Test (15 minutes) Postman/Woman with Driving - Calderway Completed
Royal Mail Delivery WSQ (approx. 14 minutes) Postman/Woman with Driving - Calderway Completed
Section
Your Details
Work History
Application Questions (Part 1)
Application Questions (Part 2)
Equal Opportunities

Print summary
I would really like the job as I have been unemployed for some time now and I enjoyed working as a Postman for the same depot in the past. Please could someone advise me as to whether my application has gone through, or who I could contact. On the contacts page it says to refer to the FAQ's but my query is not there. Thanks for any help, Richard

My son just tried to apply for a x-mas job on-line but when he gets to the work history, it says he has to have a 14 day gap, other wise it won't let him continue. I phoned personnel and they told us to refer to the FAQ's on the website, but of course there is nothing of relevance. Any ideas?

I thought it says there should be no more than 14 days unnaccounted for. Maybe I am wrong.

You have to account for every gap if more than 14 days, so if you were off for a month you have to put this into it.
