applying for a job...

Post by BingBong »

hi, ive posted a similar question before but im still trying to find out abit more info. i had an interview on 6th may 2011 (a week today) for a postman/driver vacancy.

ive checked the status of my application online and its not changed from 'interview booked'. i was just wondering how long they take to inform you if i have the job or not. im guessing no news is good news. the guy at the interview did say somethin about the paperwork goin to HR after this and then its taken from there.

just seeing if anyone knows bit more about the process. as far as im aware they were taking on 6 people. 2 people no showed at the interview and i think they was interviewing 8 people. it went quite well i think.

im quite keen on the job, just getting itchy feet now. any help would be great. sorry if this is old news to anyone also. as you can probably tell i've got zero patience. :Very Happy

You might not be quite so keen when you've got sore feet. :sad:

The recruitment process for RM is is BULLSHIT !! I passed the induction in january 2011 and i'm still waiting !!. I left RM 7 years ago when it started going down hill. When i first started in 1995 there was none of this e-mail bollocks. The old royal mail recruiting process was much better !!
