Waiting for a start date

[danieljp]

Hey all

I'm new to all this so forgive any amateur mistakes

I've been through all the usual processes for becoming one of you guys, and was told I would be contacted with a start date when my checks came back. My online status now says 'security checks passed' but I've heard nothing. Tried contacting recruitment support but have not had a response. Should I fear the worst or do I just need to give it some time?

Thanks in advance for your help

good evening
just applied for a 20 hour collection /network driving job and have got a interview
what can i expect at the interview what questions ect ??

[dozandmaxine]

what will the collections /network driver job entail exactly ??
it would be a 20 hour 3 month contract working 2 pm to six pm can you do extra hours before the 2 pm start or does it have to be after the 6 pm finish ( in essence can i start early to work extra hours ) ??

Evening

My interview was for a Postie, but the questions I was asked were:

A time you worked in a team
A time you worked alone
A time you worked to a deadline
How you kept motivated whilst doing a repetitive job
A time in the past when I was trusted with something eg. Keyholder, someones belongings

They also asked things I would check before taking out a work van, so things like tax, lights etc..

As long as you plan answers to these you should find the whole thing fine and quite relaxed, good luck mate

[dozandmaxine]

great thanks for that
hope you get your start date soon
what hours and contract have you got ??

[danieljp]

No problem!

Mine is a 30 hour 3 month contract, 9.30am-3.30pm.

Let us know how you get on
