Help needed with application.

Post by Alex-b »

Hi all hope someone can give me some advice....

I applied for a postman/woman with driving job in hayle, cornwall on the 5th october.

Filled in the application fine then was asked to complete two online tests both of which were completed, then,nothing for six weeks now, my status just says TEST COMPLETE there are no other things to do and i have been waiting for 6 weeks checking several times a day if there has been any progress.

Is this the norm? (I presume its not), how long does the whole process take?

I cant seem to find any information anywhere about it, I'm now starting to think maybe there's something I havn't done :shock:

Any help,comments and advice are most welcome.

Thanks

Alex

I'm not sure if it helps, but I applied for a permanent postman/postwoman/postperson role towards the end of October.
I received an email after registering for the job site, then an email to confirm I had completed the application-part and asking me to take the sorting tests, etc.
After I took the tests, they just showed as completed. I received no further emails, nor mention of if I had passed or failed them.

I received a rejection email early November. So just over 2 weeks from the time I took the tests, to the time they sent me the rejection email.
