Joking aside its normally just like a normal interview what are you bringing to , what experience you have had yadda yadda

As a casual it depends on the shifts available and traffic levels as well so its hard to say for definite

That depend on what function you will be working in however, both the Distribution (Mail Centres) and Delivery (Posties on the street) are physically demanding to some degree so I hope your fit.

Dont know about the other mail centres but Derby xmas interviews they didnt even ask us any questions! Last year they just checked our documents were all completed then put us down on the list no hassle at all really.

i dont really think its right to "scare" a new person like this . And if youve seen a temp being treated like s**t then what did you do about it ? Or are u to scared to stand up for another collegue because youll upset your dom.

Or are you just in on the whole we are goign to treat new staff like s**t crew. cowards

:hmmmm Imagine doing the Mumbles mile ,eating a Kingsway kebab ,snogging a girl from Penlan then shagging a valley commando ,getting done over by the Swansea met , and waking up in a pool of piss and puke in a Wind street doorway. It wont be quite that bad :angel
