Christmas Mail Centre

Post by MartinMail »

So during the Christmas holidays I'm on holiday from university. I was a postman for 2 years, and both Christmas' I went to the mail centre. I was just wondering if I called my old manager asking him about going to the local mail centre for the 2 week Christmas period what the answer would most likely be?

Has anyone done this or known anyone who has?
Thanks
:Very Happy

Recruitment seems to be centralized through the rm website nowadays,
it will have a casual staff link somewhere
but most probably they will want you to commit to about about a month I'm remembering from previous years.
different hours and shifts are usually available .
I'm a postman-and i know where you live.....

On the news yesterday about recruiting 30,000 this time instead of 15,000 yet 'Jobs' on the Royal Mail website now shows nothing within twenty miles. :crazy:
