I've received an email today asking me to send a copy of my licence to the DCP recruiting team, but they have not said if I've been selected or not as of yet. Is that a good sign?

Anyone else had to do this?

No went through all that then got turned down. Even at the interview the manager said they had no vacancies at the depot that I was being interviewed at. Just another paper exercise by Royal Mail

Did they ask you to send a copy of your licence before or after your interview bud?

If you mean SuccessFactors, try logging in with your pay number as the user ID and your National Insurance number as the password but input the NI number like this: AB123456c (the last letter has to be lower case). Once you've logged it will make you change your password to something else

I couldn't log in with mine, had to ring up the help line and they reset my password for me. Easily done, so no worries there if you can't get on.

This is being advertised again for those interested. It says it's just a training exercise this time with no job at the end of it and if you already hold the full licence not to bother applying, but why then are specific VOC sites listed if there's no job? :hmmmm

Because that's where the training will be based, I've spoken to the recruitment team about that as my local VOC isn't on the list. Still worth doing, C+E training isn't cheap!
