Not sure what they're looking for in a Xmas casual but I found the questions posted at the following link invaluable
in preparing for my interview for a PT role:

http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 91#p538366

Pay for all RM posties is weekly as far as I'm aware, and as far as getting FT, there are many part timers
who have been working for years who are still waiting to be taken on FT in my DO.

If you want any further info just type 'interview' or 'interview documents' into the search box at the top right of each web
page.

Thanks for the link,yellow belly. I have been looking at some of the posts while waiting and what you have said and others here about going full time reminds me of when I was waiting to be taken on full time with the council. And brings to mind the old saying <If your face fits...>.
So if I get taken on, it's head down and whistling <Old Man River>!

I got an email that said I'd been invited to a registration event. So I needed to log in (Candidate profile) and find (my interview tab to select an interview date) which is not on display!! Has anyone experienced this? I can't reply to the email because it say I shouldn't and I have no idea how to let them know that I can't access the mysterious interview tab. I am worried because the email wants me to reply "as soon as possible", but how can I reach them at all? Help please!

Hi. I have an interview tomorrow too but haven't been able to find the bank details form to print or the P13 to read/print or the terms of engagement. The link they sent me via email asking me to attend registration even doesn't work. Can anyone help me please? I don't want to be turned away because I have things missing.
