RECRUITMENT DURING CORONAVIRUS

Post by markarronsmith »

Hey!

I had an interview scheduled for today but it has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. Do you think Royal Mail would reschedule in the foreseeable future?

I used to work as a postie around 18/19 months ago but have regretted leaving ever since so I was looking forward to my interview and trying to get re-hired.

Has anyone else had their interview cancelled?

Thanks!

Will move this to the new starters forum for others looking in.

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.

Hi,

I have had my interview and passed all my security checks. With a start date agreed for 15th April.

Do you reckon my job offer will be cancelled with the recruitment on hold?

Thanks!

Wow! That’s a long time. Do you have any tips for the interview on getting re-hired when it finally happens?!

Thanks.
