To be honest our experience over the last few years is that there isn't a hard and fast progression. I have seen it take as little as a week to as long as a few months, best advice is to keep an eye on your recruitment page, and your spam folder as well. Good luck though the job has changed a lot in the last couple of years - well aprt from the end product of putting bits of paper through holes in doors of course. :wink:

Again there is no standard time, best just to wait and keep an eye on your email account and recruitment page.

Thanks Trueblueterrier :) I will keep a close eye on the recruitment page because for some unknown reason the emails that get sent to me on there are not being sent to my personal email inbox,this has caused me problems at every stage,i have had to chase everything up lol...ahhh well just shows how keen i am!! :Very Happy .When i first worked for Royal mail it was a lot straighter forward than the recruitment process now thats for sure.Again thanks for your input,i guess i will just have to be patient.
