Job interview.... When will I know

[channy82]

jessllew, I emailed applications@royalmail.com to say I hadn't heard anything. then today I have 3 emails and a telephone number 0114 2414378 to call. I called this and was offered the job and given a start date
I reckon you should try this and see if they give you an update! good luck

Hi everyone,
I'm in the same boat as some others on here. I applied for a role on the 1st of Dec and had an interview on the 10th. By the 24th I had an email to say I'd passed the assessment and I have all the what happens next info. The 27th I had another email to say they were submitting my security checks. On the 15th of Jan the status changed to 'security checks passed' but since then I have heard nothing. What happens now? I have to work 4 weeks notice from my current job so can't really drop everything and go to an induction etc spur of the moment haha.

I'm getting sick of waiting, just an email to say I'm on a waiting list would be something at least! arrrgghh

if people dont hear back within 9 days of applying for a role does that mean ur most likely not to get an interview?

Yes that's maybe the case with a normal employer but with Royal Mail recruitment things take ages just hang on in there.

A fair number of years ago I applied for a position an Royal Mail in August - Interview in September, and confirmation successful Late November - they are a bit quicker now I hope.

No, they're not. I was initially interviewed at the end of October 2012, induction Feb 2013.....

Hello. For those given induction days how far out are they from the email date? 1 week 2 weeks? Ive just noticed that my status has changed to "interview attended"... I think the interview went well - but who knows... I have to work notice from my current work. Thanks.

I applied last april, heard nothing for weeks, was interviewed july, heard nothing again for weeks then at the end of August I was asked to go to induction on the 1st september and was in the do on the 2nd. It took ages for any updates to appear on the website but they do lots of checks. It confused them that I was self employed they must have asked me 3 times for employers details!!

Well 5 days after my interview now..... And my status still says "Interview Booked" :0/

I'm here a week now. Waiting for a mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker. And every minute Charlie squats in the bush...he gets stronger. Each time I looked around...the walls moved in a little tighter.

It took me 5 months to get in from initial application to start date and that was 2 years ago.

Once I passed the security checks they wanted me to attend the induction day 3 days later but I had to work my notice period so I started 3 weeks later
