My pal only received a registration event invitation today, so still slots for the 16th which is the second registration event I believe.

I was doing a Google maps run how long it would take and spotted the 'to let' for that address. If winter this year ain't too bad I'll take the back roads, any snow etc I'll take the motorway only adds another 5 miles but at least they roads will be safer.

4 weeks of work hardly seems worth it eh :(

Where did you see the Parcelforce jobs mate?? That would have been ideal.

Also interesting that the earliest start date is a week later than it was last year. Was hoping for a wee but more than 4 weeks work.

Or too early in some cases ;). Not sure if people are still stuck on application received, but they weren't the first batch of recruits regardless with how late the dates were.

For the ones who applied really late you may still get something. Maybe a drop out backup option?
