Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how long it would take for the Royal Mail to get back to you after doing online assessments?

I have applied for four different posts within the Royal Mail.

The first one was on the 8th Of August and still not heard a thing?

Is there a number/ Email address where I could contact to get an update?

Thanks
Hugh

I applied for a post 2 weeks ago and was told last week I've been unsuccessful, yet I also applied for a post in April and I still haven't heard from

that one

Its strange, did you do an interview?

I applied a month ago and still haven't heard anything either. I think the general consensus of the forum is that it can take quite a long time for things to get started, but you haven't been rejected so don't lose hope :)

I applied for a delivery with driving job at the start of August and I'm still awaiting a reply - status just states 'testing complete'. However in late August I applied for another delivery job with a different office and I was rejected after 3.5 weeks.

There seems to be no method to their process as far as I can work out.
