Hi all,
Been lurking in the background, for a few weeks now, so thought I’d share another timeline of recruitment. This one wasn’t as straight forward as many I’ve seen on here, which I’m sharing.
Jan 18th 2018 applied for 7 jobs at different D.Os
Jan 24th rejected for 3
Jan 30th got interview
Feb 8th
08.47am received an e-mail saying I’ve passed interview and begin filling information for security checks.
08.59 received email saying previous email was sent in error. Devastating. Placed onto 3 month priority list.
Feb 8th - 22nd applied for 8 jobs using the link for candidates on priority list. Received 2 further rejections
Feb 23rd received email saying to fill details for security checks. (Same as what was sent in error)
Also received step 5 email to fill details for driving license checks.
Feb 26th received email saying security checks have been submitted and to supply digital photo for ID
March 2nd (Friday evening) candidate profile status changes from checks to offer. Got to wait all weekend for more info.
March 5th step 8 email confirming job offer. Also to submit bank details, holidays booked and confirm induction.
March 26th will be induction
March 27th start at D.O
Just a bit of info to go with the above. I first applied mid January, but am starting at a DO I didn’t apply for till mid February.
I stated I have to give 2 weeks notice and start 3 weeks after offer.
In all I applied for 15 individual jobs at different DOs
2 positions were withdrawn, 12 were unsuccessful.
8 applications where made through the link for priority list candidates.
I can’t fault the communication with my royal mail. They usually took a day or 2 to get back in touch, but not once did I not receive an answer to an email.
I emailed my Royal Mail for varying reasons approx 20 times.
Hope this gives some encouragement to anyone waiting. It is a long process, but patience goes a long way. ( I’m not patient hence 20 odd emails sent to them)
If anyone here works or will be working at Kitts Green, in Birmingham I look forward to working with you soon

Thanks for updating us!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
