Job application disappeared!?

Post by Jamiec1991 »

I applied for a driver postman vacancy yesterday.
The website said my application had been submitted and I received the email saying that it had been submitted etc etc. I then received an email with a link to carry out a couple of basic test, which I completed.
But now when I log into my account online it says I have no outstanding applications!
Does anyone know if that means that I am no longer being considered for the job or if it may just be a technical glitch on the site.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

It'll be a technical glitch. I would keep checking every so often, it may be that you caught them between processes and it gave you a default response.

Hi. I'm also having real problems with their abysmal application process and things disappearing. :arrrghhh
I applied for a postie + driving job on 18th Jan and did the test on the same day.
Now when I try to log on and view my profile it just claims that my password is wrong (it really isn't - I wrote it down).
OK, I think, maybe I've got it wrong and click on the forgotten password link. I should receive an email after doing this but none is being sent to me. I know that they are not sending anything out as I am the email administrator for my domain name and can see everything that arrives including those rejected as spam.
So, I can't log on and there's no way to contact anyone to try and get this cleared up.

Anyone else having similar problems? This is driving me nuts.

thanks

tone,

I had this same problem with the password reset but I was at a much more critical stage (trying to book an interview slot!)

I emailed their IT support at

recruitment.technical.query@royalmail.com

who said they knew there was a problem and were looking into it etc and they would get back to me. They never did
but randomly I checked to see if it would work early one Saturday AM and miraculously it did! Then had a mass panic
as the only interview slot was on the Monday.....!! However got the job!

Sorry can't offer any more advice.
