Christmas Casual induction - On site?

Post by Jsmith212 »

Hi,
This is not through Angard, I applied directly with RM.

Any idea if there will still be an on site induction before the date of my first shift? This is at the NDC.
The offer letter gives a date and time for an induction, but the emails I have been receiving from RM just mention completing the online induction before starting the first shift. I'd rather not turn up at 7am for something that isn't happening.

Thanks

The RM Christmas Casual email got back to me quickly, there is still an onsite induction.
Having worked there before, I wonder what it will involve beyond 'how to use a pallet truck'..

Hi, I missed my induction for a xmas casual position and I am due to start next week in 3 days. I've emailed the christmas recruitment team but not got a reply yet, I'm really worried I will have lost the job. Any advice?

Hi Molly,

I'd suggest ringing up the mail centre / office and asking them directly.

In my office, we are running inductions next week and there are still places.
