Does anybody know or have experience of the interview process at parcelforce?

Im with parcelforce a few years now.

My interview day was split into 2 part. 1st was an aptitude test. We were given a map with grid references and a sheet with postcodes that referred to the grid references on the map. We were then handed a bunch of envelopes with address's and postcodes on them. The idea was to plot out the most efficient route taking into consideration school/business opening hours and if there where parcels that had to be delivered before a certain time. There was a set time to complete this, I cant remember how long.

2nd part of the day was the interview. They asked questions like how you would load your van, what equipment would you take with you. What vehicle checks would you perform and so on. Pretty generic questions tbh. If you need any more help or have more questions just ask.

Thanks for the reply. How difficult would you say the test was? Considering at the time you didnt have the experience of doing the job.

if you have half a brain you'll be ok ! although when i took the test about 50% of the people either failed or ran out of time (i think that was more to do with the candidates that the test).
