Royal Mail Christmas Jobs

Scroll to see replies

As I haven't had back anything from Royal Mail. I think mine wasn't successful!
Because in first mail said if you haven't heard by 25th, you not lucky.

I'd check the RM application status & emails on their website to see if you have been contacted as sometime's their emails don't get through to your proper email addy. You're prob right though.

I apologise if this question has already been asked somewhere earlier in the thread but; did anyone else apply for a Christmas delivery job? (I heard back on 23rd October if anyone was wondering)

If so I was wondering if the interview process is any than that of the sorting jobs?

I've got an interview for the 7th of November, as it was the only date I could pick, but I wish I was able to pick an earlier interview date. I'm becoming increasingly concerned that I'm going to show up for this interview just to be put on a waiting list or be flat out told that there are no jobs left.

Can anyone ease my concerns?

Thanks in advance.

Never seen any christmas delivery jobs adervtised.
But if i had to guess, i think the interview process would be different from the xmas casual sorters.
Only because they hire about 200-300 people per depot, i would'nt think thats the same for a delivery route

I got an email saying if security checks are passed I should get the job?

What exactly is the security check and what do they check?

I didn't notice it was a delivery job I applied for until a couple of days ago, but I'd probably prefer to be out walking rather than stuck in a sorting office.

Demand for certain jobs will probably just fluctuate in each region. (I'm in Dundee if people were wondering)

They check to see if you have a criminal record & whether you have any unspent convictions.

I've just passed mine.

Good luck to anyone on the waiting list.

I applied for this a couple of years ago (albeit to do night shifts) but decided to do night shifts at Sainsbury's instead. It's low paying and only two weeks work IIRC, but you'll probably get the job no problems if you apply. Good luck to anyone doing so.
