Reapplying after unsuccessful interview?

[dvbuk55]

Not being successful at interview doesn't necessarily mean that's it. I was too initially, but got a phone call out of the blue a couple of weeks later asking if I was still interested. Seems a few they did take on either didn't show or lasted less than a week !
I would definitely think twice though, if they do come back to you. You come across as having a bit of "nouse" - they don't like that, don't like being "challenged" when they manipulate the rules, as I found out to my cost. And yes, I am bitter.

Are you still with them hottie?

I'm so sorry but I've spent the last 15 minutes laughing at this.... you must have felt so wanted... any idea how many turned down the job before you got the offer? <fx: shrieks with laughter >

I'm so sorry!

Sorry Op, but they have done you a favour in turning you down!

I was also pretty smartly dressed so maybe that was a problem too

I only mentioned that because i had a mate a couple of years back who lost his job as a car salesman. He was getting desperate slipping behind on the mortgage etc so i put a word in for him at another office where i knew for certain they were short of staff. He got an interview but was turned down

I honed a friend at the office and asked if he would find out why he was rejected. The manager said he was dressed way too smart and did not look the sort who would want to deliver in the rain (prob very true actually).

So i would say just trousers and a shirt would be enough.

Nope. Dismissed, for gross misconduct. Waiting on an appeal date.

Hi,

I too 'failed' the Royal Mail Interview and wondered whom to contact in relation to getting feedback as to why I failed. Apparently, you can (I asked this at the end of the interview), however, the feedback does not come from Royal Mail itself but rather an agency (maybe Reed) based in Sheffield. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about failing the interview. There are loads of folk that start that never last the week. Keep applying.

Hi, I failed an interview with RM this week, I was interviewed by a really nice lady and I thought it went really well, as an ex courier (hermes)I thought my experience was relevant, I dressed smartly, answered the questions correctly (it seemed) and thought Id at least get on the waiting list, but the email says I cant apply again until 6 months have passed. Any advise appreciated.

[dvbuk55]

You could always ask for feedback, it would do 2 things imo, it would show an added interest and give you an insight into what if anything contributed to the rejection. It may just be that there was an oversubscription and they found enough suitable candidates for the immediate future.
