Hi, I know this is a bit of an old thread now but hoping someone will see this. I'm currently applying for a job at the royal mail depo nr me and like most people on here having probelms with the whole 5 year and 14 days thing, here is what I've put in:

1/7/2011 to present
14/7/2009 - 28/6/2011
3/8/2008 - 4/7/2009

Condensed it to fit in within 5 years and as far as I can see there is no gaps bigger than 14 days!
Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

SB.

I haven't put down august 2013 though? To present would be up to todays date not 2 months in the future. I changed it the end date and that still had no effect. :/

Hi,
I want to apply for a postman job. But im pretty petite. Should I bother? I know they might take one look and laugh or something.
