Job interview.... When will I know

[bustedflush]

Also I was worried about being a female applying for this job.... As you don't see many female posties do you :0/

RM are aware the proportion of women is very low, and dare I suggest it, but it may help you. Unfortunately, regardless of sensitivities, the job has changed since the revisions in to a far more high-intensity physical one than it once was and this can work against the fairer sex. This is an observation; some bags and trollies are very heavy and those of a more robust physique may find it easier than others. As for stress, it is unfortunately becoming a reason more and more posties are signed off. We had one person off for 6 months, a monster round with 720 calls, often hit with 4-6 door-to-dustbins and heavy on packets. Simply the pressure of the impossible overcame them.

I can see how it will be a stressful job especially in well build up areas, but nothing like the stress of my previous jobs when the lives of animals are in your hands 24/7 and one slip up and they can die, i think i deserve a little bit of a de stresser at the moment haha.

Probably means you are successful and they are going through the process of offering you a job/putting you on waiting list.

Congratulations, they are about to offer you a job

Yep, that's it. You're not going on the waiting list, you would have been told. Well done, welcome to the madhouse!

Don't expect an induction date for at least 2 months, they take their time!

[Jessllew]

Yup I can see they've taken their time .... I applied for this role 7th December haha.
So providing I pass security checks then I will be offered this job ? .... Or will I be put on a waiting list :0(

I had my induction 2 weeks after the phone call confirming my offer. If processing an offer you should be 'in' in 2-3 weeks. Your CRB will already have been done otherwise you wouldn't get an offer. If you were being put on a waiting lift your site status would not state 'processing offer'.

[dioklis@talktalk.net]

That's fab :0)

It's like a bloody waiting game ... Nearly a week and don't know if I got it yet lol, so if you get put on the waiting list ..... Do u just apply like normal and they automatically know you've been for a interview etc?

No - I had an e-mail to say I had passed interview but didn't get the job, I was then given a different e-mail to respond to if a suitable job came up.

[Jessllew]

On the email I had saying I passed the interview ... I had to answer four questions ... Asking will this be my only job etc

Also on the Royal Mail application status they have put what happens next and there is a welcome pack when I log in :0/
