Graduate Managers

[mailmonkey]

Hi everyone,

I've recently attended the Assessment day at Coton House for the Graduate Operations Scheme.

Just wondering, how posties view the managers and any tips for working at Royal Mail.

Thanks

You've only attended the Assessment Day, you haven't sold your soul to the Devil yet.

If you have any humanity, you won't go far. The fact that you're here asking for advice suggests you are too nice to do the job.

I'd get out now, I couldn't face working in management capacity for a company like this, wouldn't be able to look meself in the eye when I'm shaving in the morning, let alone the posties'.

Well i reckon you ought to get yourself off to London, that's where Dirty Harry is based and he's been singing the virtues of his manager for an age.
He'll look after you and make you feel welcome ........ put you right on a few things

Thanks for the feedback everyone

They must be doing a roaring trade at the University clearing house

May I ask what you graduated in?

I studied Classics & History, I'm sure I'll get some stick for that

I'm sure your new career will exploit and develop your trained skill set in a positive manner

Is this a wind up? You are never going to fit in at being a manager if you give a monkeys what posties think

That is as it is,short term profit miners are gold dust

Thanks for the help everyone.

Has been useful to get the inside view of things to give me a good perspective.

For the record Chris,shop floor managers don't like you lot,at least in my experiance anyway.

i`d deffo try elsewhere mate. This companies shelf life is hurtlig downwards at break - neck speed. It cant get rid of staff (including managers) quick enough, so you will be doing the okey cokey. Try Tescos, long term a much better bet.

Think carefully. If you done 3 years at Royal Mail management graduate course or training. Would the other employers be interested in hiring a former Royal Mail manager for their company.

I would say no! thing is they will ask you why you didn't stay the course with Royal Mail?, Then they will think you are not going to stay the course with them so it becomes a vicious circle.

As long as you know how to operate a clipboard and where the business end of a coffee machine is, you'll do fine. Welcome aboard.
