I'm Free!!

I applied then took the tests then after passing all that had a managers interview. Got my medical next week so fingers crossed lol. I'm 32 there are jobs out there for people 30+ where they like you to be of a more mature age because of the responsibility, double the money in a few years too. If have taken this job for the same money if it got me out of Royal Mail.

Trainee train driver mate, get on it

Well done mate, not an easy gig to get. How did you find the tests? Did you have any special experience/qualities that made you more suitable for the role than others?

Found the tests ok and interviews. Got no experience or special quality a. Just an average bloke, applied last august, done the test end of march and got called straight for a managers interview 2 weeks later.

Did you get interviewed first then take the test, or were the applicants selected on the basis of the test?

tests are available to all if you pay

Cheers mate, forgot to mention the best bit about this job is the people, I'm sure most of you have made some life long friends since joining Royal Mail.

Well done on finding an exit strategy! I know all offices are different, perhaps mine is more anti-social than others, but generally I find a lot of Posties to be Selfish & Self Centred. Over the years the job had attracted, and then encouraged, such types. I just have work colleagues, I don't have friends. I wouldn't trust any of these idiots to watch my back! A sorry indictment I know. Good Luck with your new job.

You aren't exactly "free" - you've just chosen a different employer.

Royal Mail have crap managers - but its still a good job if you can get past that.

Good luck anyway.
