Hiii, possibly a new postman!!

Post by Mark_Law22 »

Hi, I'm Mark :)

I've recently applied for a job as a postman. I've had my interview and then got an email saying congratulations you have 'passed your recent assessment'.
I also got a phone call asking me health related questions and also said that next time she rings it will be to discuss a start date.
Does this mean i have the job? I'm not sure as my application status currently says 'processing security checks'.
Any helps appreciated :)

Start date-beginning of your sentence:Yep sounds like you've got the job. :Very Happy
Good luck.

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.

Hi, im Jesse

I'm now at the same stage, 'processing security checks', just wondering how long these checks took? As I recieved a similar phone call offering me the job and saying they would give me a date to start, when the checks were complete this was about 2 weeks ago now and still haven't heard anything yet.

Took going on a couple weeks for them to get back to me. Just keep emailing them so they don't forget about you :P
