Hi there just a newbi to this forum, which is great, and asking a question that has been asked before, lol
But just wondering how long the online application takes, and I know I could ask how long is a bit of string and get the same sort of answer :arrrghhh . Just I applied for a job on the 28th of july did the test and now just says test completed and waiting, while did another application on the 1st August and received email on 16th August saying passed online test but did not make short list but will keep records for short peroxide of time. Just seems a bit strange, difference in time taken and wondering what's normal. Thanks

Hi and unfortunately there is no norm,they seem to pick things out of the air when they feel like it.

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.
