Airport mail screeners

Post by fido69r »

Does anyone know what to expect at the assesment day for this position?
The assessment consists of two short tests, one to test your observational skills and the other to test your spelling and grammar. The latter is self explanatory, however, what does the first one invlove? Any current screeners care to share their experience. I'm wondering if it's the video and answers chestnut, or the xray screenex test used by airport security applicants....all help appreciated.

cheating in this respect is not an option available, I fear. Like anything, if you don't possess the qualities required, then you won't pull through in any case. There are different methods used to evaluate potential applicants, and I was merely trying to establish which one they used in order to brush up beforehand. If someone for example, is academically challenged then they would naturally fail. I simply wanted to know which tests they deploy for this role, and not the answers.

I've heard that giving a masonic handshake at the end of the interview often ensures success. :nana

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.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
