Hello

[paul1231]

Last month I went for an interview but was placed on the waiting list and singed up for notifications and noticed an opening at a branch about five miles away from the one I originally applied for so told them I was interested in this vacancy. Today I received an email back saying I would be contacted in the next ten days to discuss the vacancy and a conditional offer will be made to me. Is it too early too get excited thinking I've got a job?. Was thinking of leaving my job a couple of weeks before I start at royal mail to give myself a little break but is it too early to do this?. Thanks.

Should be ok as long as you pass the security checks, good luck.

This is an identical scenario to my appointment, I applied and failed to get a Saturday only job at my local office and then a 35 hour job appeared at an office 6 miles away and I was shortlisted immediately and received the same email as you and then I was appointed and never looked back. Good luck Paul.

Sounds promising then. Any idea on the time scale between this an getting the phone call/starting etc. Thanks.

It was about 2 or 3 weeks then a week later I attended the induction but this was because of delays at the delivery office, I believe they were not enthused about taking me on as I'm 55 years of age but I think I've surprised them though as I'm a fitness fanatic and taken to the job like a duck to water.
