Sch Interview - 1st stage?

Post by Gavin91 »

Hello.

I applied for three jobs as a postman with driving, I got rejection emails for two of them and the status on the career opportunities site now says 'candidate pooling' and 'app review - not shortlisted'. The other one I attended an interview for 2 weeks ago and I haven't heard anything since. The status on the career opportunties site says 'Sch Interview - 1st stage'?

Any idea what this means?

Possibly 'Scheduled interview -1st stage' which you've had.

They are very bad at updating.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

It’s normal for the other applications to be rejected once you interview for a position. Happened to me. Royal Mail recruitment are notorious for taking an age to update the status. Just sit tight and hopefully you should hear back soon.

So I didn't get the job but got an email saying I've been placed on the waiting list.

I applied for a job in the same delivery office using the link in the email and got rejected for not completing the online tests. :arrrghhh
