Transfer Application Process

Post by Sledge4211 »

Applied a week ago now still haven’t heard anything it saids they plan to hold interviews on 22nd jan! Also saids face to face interview if successful with application. Is that true? Or is that just standard writing for all jobs advertised.

No, if you do it via success factors you bypass all that stuff as you rightly say it is on file.

Thanks. I’ve managed to log on to Success Factors and apply. It did ask for my licence details and wouldn’t complete until I attached my cv. But hey ho, all done now.

Is it necessary to inform my DOM about transfer online request ?
Not sure What to do , Personally I would inform DOM but I think he could do everything against me ,I know we are understaffed, my plan is to apply for Indoor/Mail Centre vacancy in the future and go straight to any manager from there ... :crazy:

You don’t have to notify your DOM at all that you want a transfer, as HR will send an email to your manager, once he/she knows your off to another DO they can’t stop your decision from moving. You have 28 days to complete the transfer over to your new depot BUT your manager has to liaise with the your new manager at your new DO.

So, I dont “meet the criteria for the role as outlined in the application process” Am I missing something? I’m already a postie at one office and applied for a position at another. Is it just a fob-off cos someone already lined up? I’ve been with RM exactly 6 months. Is that too soon?
Not too bothered as I enjoying it, but being nearer home would’ve been handier. Just dont know how I dont meet the criteria.

Don’t beat yourself up about it there could a number of factors why you wasn’t offered the job. Maybe somebody more senior than you applied and got the job internally. Keep your fingers crossed I’m sure something else will
creep up soon.
