Maybe a stupid question?

Post by carpp »

Hi,
i have an interview next week as a postman and was wondering do i need to take my CV? i've read through all the information that i was sent and it doesn't mention anything about a CV, did anyone else take their CV to the interview?

many thanks

No harm in taking it but once you've got to this stage not really necessary, just answer sensibly, like that you definately can get into work on time, if in doubt about anything you will ask your manager, you're totally reliable, totally trustworthy, flexible, if necessary you will work over your time ( and get paid for it ) , etc. :Very Happy You probably know the type of answers that'll give you the best chance. :Very Happy good luck. :Very Happy

I attended an interview last month and was successful, I am now waiting for the security checks.

The interview that I had was based around scenarios with questions like "working for the RM involves team work, can you give me an example of when you have worked in a team" and "it is possible we'll have to swap what you are doing at short notice, can you give me an example of a time where you've had to deal with a change of plan". The answers could be from working or private life, but they took a bit of quick thinking - thankfully I'd had similar questions at other interviews so I was prepared for a few of them. There were six questions like that and about the same number of questions were related to the actual job - such as "what driving experience do you have".

If you have been asked to take copies of various documents and a driving licence is needed for the job be sure to have copied both side of the photo licence - I forgot about doing the back of it but luckily they had a photocopier nearby.
