Post by tara »

Hi, Im starting at royal mail next monday as a data entry keyer on a temp basis for a month.

Can anyone tell me what exactly I will be doing in the role....of course I know its data entry but what will this involve?

Are the targets realistic?

Thanks :)

Essentailly Tara images of letters will appear on the screen and your have to type the address. Thats the basics of it but there are rules as to how the address is types in e.g start with the postcode and work up.

Its a boring mundane job but someone has to do it.

Keep us informed peeps on how you're getting on.

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.
