Hello, similiar problems with angard here but with regards to interview times! I need to change my time - a friend has on for the same day but later so I know it's possible in theory - but can't find any sort of contact details.

Has anybody managed to find a telephone number or email address? I phoned the place where the interview is and they didn't have any idea either. Seems a bit strange???

Tbh just show up, they don't check who's supposed to be coming in at what times, heck one person even came in two hours early and they still processed him.

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.

I can go one up on this Angard Farce. Went to the Xmas registration today, waited in queue, got to my turn to be told, all positions taken but would you like to go on a waiting list just incase someone backs out at Xmas.

I wondered why a couple of people stormed out.

What annoys me is that they contacted me very early in September as I worked for them last Christmas, saying apply now to get your name down early.

Still, I surpose the reality is that there are so many people unemployed now that your up against a lot of desperate people.

Nope. They gace me a provisional offer letter when I was in the interview & took my photo & also my shoe size (for steel toe caps?) & said they would be in touch in 2-3 weeks when the check came back. I'm 100% I'm disclouser is fine as I've had 2 before but the wait now is REALLY hard

Keep trying unfortunately - apparently they send the emails to everyone to has made it to that stage so the slots go very quickly. Some Angard casuals suggest turning up unannounced but check round the board and forums to see all the advice from 100s if of applicants.
