Graduate Jobs - Operations Management Programme - Royal Mail

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

(My Comments in Italics)

http://www.graduate-jobs.com/gj/gjs/js0 ... obId=16381

Salary: £23,000 + benefits

Location: Nationwide
Description:

There’s no better grounding for a career in senior management. (except another job in management)

Early responsibility

Our operations management programme puts you in the thick of the action in one of our mail centres, delivery offices or distribution centres. After a short induction period, you’ll be given your own team to manage, which will mean organising their work, keeping people motivated and sorting out any issues that arise. (By intimidation and pressure)

Challenging environment (Yeah senior posties will challenge you when you get it wrong)

It’s not going to suit someone who wants a nine-to-five job. Working shifts across a 24-hour operation, you may have to start at 5am or work until 10 pm or, sometimes, throughout the night. Nor is it for someone who wants a quiet life in the office. This is a hands-on role in an environment where we collect, process and deliver over 80 million items to 27 million addresses a day.

Moving up

The programme exposes you (ooo er) to a wide range of challenges. Rise to them, and you’ll have the foundation you need for a long-term management career. And if you show real potential, commitment and talent, we can provide you with the support you need to reach some of the most senior roles in our business. Within seven years or less, you could be an Area General Manager, controlling a budget of £120 million and managing more than 1,400 people.

What you’ll need

For this reason, you must have some relevant work experience, as well as a degree (ideally 2:1 or above). You’ll also need lots of resilience and good influencing and negotiation skills.

The rewards

We’ll give you a starting salary of £23,000 plus bonuses. You’ll also enjoy extensive training and development opportunities, and will be offered the support you need to gain professional qualifications.

Stand out from the crowd. Visit our website via the graduate-jobs.com application button to find out more.



Skills Required: please see above...

It does not matter where they come from,the brain washing takes over anyway,and only c***s applying helps as well.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

POSTMAN I disagree with you calling them c***s because c***s give people pleasure not something that can be said of management. :nana

I suppose there's plenty of graduates who are easily brainwashed. We have one of these at BMC. who has risen to the dizzying heights of Weekend Shift Manager in next to no time - less than a year - mainly because no-one else wants the job.
Totally without experience, and clueless - nice enough chap although he is, but he shouldn't be here.

Problem with Royal Mail is that it has illusions of grandure if the management of this sad company think that having a 2.1 or higher means they employ a person of better standing then they are stupid,my son has 2.2 in law and works for us part time but he would no more be a manager for Royal Mail as he thinks they are the durge of the earth got no respect for them at all. :lfo

I actually have a phone interview for one of these posts tomorrow :dance

As you can probably guess, I know f**k-all about Royal Mail, i've been out of uni for 3 years, pretty much wasting time in a council admin job - to be honest, if it paid more i'd probably stick with it.

I can do a bit of research and spout bollocks for 15 minutes over the phone but i'm guessing if i actually get one of these jobs I'm going to be as hated as all the other graduates you've had to put up with.

ah well,

We've a graduate in our office, seems a really nice bloke, but from what I've seen he does'nt seem to have much input and just gets given the jobs the LM's don't want to do.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
