What's the website for this ad??

I'm in the south east, my DOM is interviewing next week. Heard thru the grapevine that it's casuals, but I don't think it's for our office.

There was no website mentioned in the advertisement. I googled "firstcall" and got an employment agency.

But send your personal details to an email address that requires Royal Mail "preferred" experienced people to work at Royal Mail delivery offices.....

All applicants are advised to join the CWU on appointment, and contact the nearest Health & Safety rep to ask what is the maximum bag weight I am supposed to be lifting ?

address

It is easy to find the site address from the e-mail address.

Just drop the ....@ and add www. (www.firstcall-woolwich.co.uk)

In this case you will be redirected to

http://www.yourfirstcall.co.uk/

It is indeed an employment agency dealing temporary workers, judging by the poor standard of the site, specialising in cheap labour no doubt.

Last one out turn the lights off

Tell that to our MC manager. We've got dozens in. But now they don't call them
casuals since the Channel 4 programme, but Agency Staff, which is what these will be.
The ones in my MC are apparently on minimum wage from the Agency though the Agency
gets paid about three times that by RM.
