Any Christmas Casual Advice

Post by mjd611 »

Hi there,

I start as a christmas casual on wednesday morning and i was wondering if anyone had any useful advice. I'm a student grateful for the opportunity to earn a little money, who just wants to get on with the job i'll be paid for. Any tips for not causing trouble/easy mistakes to make? Haven't really been told how we go about doing the job, other than a health and safety video and tour of the sorting site.

Any advide is gratefully received.

Thanks,
Matt

In some mail centres they operate a system called SISO.

Enjoy.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Don't worry. You'll have a manager telling you what to do, and moving you around.
Good luck. And remember you are lucky to only be there for two or three weeks.
