When would you hand in your notice

[Shephard99]

Hi still waiting on the call , had the interview on Friday and with the bank holiday prob will not hear yet.
When you do get the call saying you have the job, they then do the checks on you. Would you hand your notice in when they say u have the job or after the checks. I would like to sign something before I do this or is this not the case.
I have to give 4 weeks notice you see.
Many thanks

You only need to give one weeks notice if you work for RM.

[Shephard99]

No I don't work for rm I went for a job interview for a job within rm.
My place of work now I have to give 4 weeks notice. I just would like to know when you would do this.
Lucky for me I have had no holiday this year so can 2 weeks and 3 days off with this

You seem quite confident you are going to be offered a job.
They recently did 3 days of interviews for just 5 vacancies in a Delivery Office near me.
They filled the vacancies while others were put on a waiting list ......
Who knows how long that list is ..... or when more vacancies will be filled.

I have been try to get out of my for for the last 8 years it's a place you love to hate

[Shephard99]

Was just asking

[TrueBlueTerrier]

My advice would be to hang tight till they give you a certain offer. Also watch out sometimes the job offer may be in a different office and different hours than the original.

I would then hand your notice in at your old place - possibly using sick leave and holidays to cut down the time, however most places at the moment would probably allow you to go sooner than the notice period - be upfront and honest with your current employer.

[Shephard99]

Thanks will check on what they offer
Still no news yet when would u know if you past the interview stage.

Should you ask for feed back as to why you haven't got the job

You could but it may just be that there were too many applicants, I doubt if they could give you a constructive answer but its always worth a try.
