Hi there, here is a topic for people hoping to work at the EMC this year as a casual. I know they employ over 1000 people here at Christmas, but I applied on 2nd of September and still have "application received".

Has anyone been offered an interview for here yet? I know the registration event took place around 15th October last year, but it is getting close to tht date and I haven't heard anything from RM.

Got an email today to book the interview logged on and "no slots available" surely they didn't go that quick!!

I'm looking to do the nightshift again, last year was a right laugh and we breezed through our work load i loved it.

Congrats on at least getting that far! I worked there last year, applied as soon as it was announced, yet I'm still stuck on application received. Gonna give them a ring.

Grizzle, did you apply through Angard?

Just phoned up "We are unable to disclose details about individual applications bla bla bla..." So what am I supposed to do now? Sit and watch whilst others book interview slots?

[Grizzle]

No through RM themselves mate, weird thing is the sister in law who's 18 and at college got given an interview today for dayshift this is her first time applying

[dm-flamingo]

Strange process they are using. They sent out postcard reminders for us to apply, yet don't seem to be taking much notice.

When did you apply this year?

[Grizzle]

9th sept, a month earlier than last year, i hope they have slots up this week or i wont be pleased

[dm-flamingo]

I was the same mate, started on 16tg November which was the earliest start date. Strange that you can still apply too, thought it would have been closed by now?

[Grizzle]

Another email and text asking me to book a slot for an interview!! Yet no slots available!! Something seriously up!!

[dm-flamingo]

Yeah something not right there. You could try the helpline but I didn't find them very useful or friendly at all.

Thing I don't get: you receive two postcards through out the year reminding you to apply and that they look forward to seeing you again next Christmas, I was one of the casuals short listed for an extension beyond January, yet iv been left in the dark.

Out of the blue I received a text from Royal Mail asking me to book an interview slot for 9th October at Stevenson college. Full list of times to pick from, so i'd check just now and you might be lucky.

[Grizzle]

Finally got a slot booked for 10th oct at west lothian college.

[dm-flamingo]

Well done mate, change of building from last year is strange. Not fussed what shift I get, just gonna go for the earliest start date.

[dm-flamingo]

Anybody else got a registration even on Wednesday? Or even a start date yet?

[Grizzle]

Pretty certain this is where we will be working
