Think of sheep in a pen. That about sums it up. You go in they check your documents, then you sign some more crap, then they make an ID for you with the passport pic you brought. Ask you which shifts and branch you'd like and send you on your way. There is no privacy it's a bit of a group interview really. No questions asked.

I went to the registration event in Croydon. There was no interview, they only took my details and forms etc, and asked me what shift I want to work. After that they gave me a provisional offer and... that's it. They're going to do the securitty checks now and then send me an email. Once I've received that email I only have to turn up on the first day.

And the job is only for two weeks, which is kind of disappointing. I was hoping for at least one month.

Thanks guys for ur replies. so i have nothing to worry about then. I hope to get atleast a month out of it.

what date do they usually start xmas temps? been for my interview last week, said i had a 15 min slot from 2-15 to 2-30, i was in there for nearly 2 hours

do drivers hold an advantage of getting a start before non drivers?

cheers

Hi all, i have got my xmas temp interview tomorrow morning at 9am at the Birmingham sorting office in Aston. Has anyone else had their interview yet and do you get told there and then when and what times your working? i am only after weekend work do you think this will affect my chances of getting offered work?

Thanks

Aye had my interview, you don't get told what shifts you'll be doing as it's only a provisional offer till they pick who they want working. You pick the times and a set of days you want to work i went for Sunday night to friday night 10.30pm to 6.30am. You can't work both days on the weekend only Sundays so if your up for doing that then go ahead. They obviously need people to work a sunday so you'll probably have a chance.

If it's the same as last year. You turn up on for the interview, wait in a huge queue, hand your identity papers to an official, get given a number like at Asda butcher counter, wait to be called out, (meanwhile, there's about 10 other people, like you, sitting at a desk being interviewed by Angard, rather like in class at School. your papers are checked over and work history, ( you diclose what colour underpants you wear) sorry, I got carried away by all the petty crap, your asked what hours you'd prefer and you sign a written contract. On average it works out at about a Months work. Not great but it keeps the wolves at bay.

Hello

Can someone help please. I received the e-mail, that many of you have received, inviting me to book an interview time and date, after clicking on the link given and logging into my account I cannot see where I am suppose to choose the date/time. All I see after logging into my account is the summery of the job itself with no other link to the interview details. Has anyone else had this problem or have I missed something????

I was only asked one question in the so-called interview. It was 'What size are your feet ?'.

I kid you not !

[POSTMAN]

LOL,sounds about right,not sure you'll get any shoes though,we have a hard time getting them!

Guys,

Has anyone got any recent updates from Angard ?

I'd received the provisional offer letter long back in Oct following the initial interview but since then I've not heard anything back from there!! Very strange...
