Added to waiting list

Post by mahjong »

Hi all,
Went for interview on 01.02.2012 and a couple of days later my status on my online application page changed to added to waiting list. I just wondered what this meant. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

To be fair i think it is what it says,it's a case of waiting till a vacancy comes up.
Did you go for a specific job?

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.

keep an eye on the vacancies of royal mail's website.

i 'passed' the interview, only to get an email telling me there had been other successful candidates. i was put on the waiting list and given an email address to send an application to if a local job came up. as the dom had mentioned in my interview that he was hopeful of further staff increases, i kept an eye out. saw the same job advertised within weeks and am now a postie.
