Thanks,but no thanks

[Vagrant No2]

I applied for a job a couple of weeks ago as a Postman . I had to spend an hour filling in an online CV and all the usual that goes with it . I then had to do 2 15 min online tests . I finally got a reply to my application , Thanks, no thanks . Blimey , how qualified do I need to be to put an envelope through a letterbox !!! Never even a written letter or phone call from start to finish , all done online and by e-mail.

Be hopes your postie ain't a member of the forum. If he is, make sure not to touch your post if it's wet and yellow when he pushes it through the box.

It's pathetic all this online mularkey they insist on using these days ain't it.

Hmmm. Asking one of the two non-drinkers if he's pished. Let's see.......

T'was but a slight localism that slipped in.

I think you'll find they either want some dunce with no qualifications, so they don't get bored easily, or they are looking for einstein, coz it's a complicated job.

Did not mean that Posties are thick or anything , just that I had to do these 15 min tests etc to see how clever or something I was , they were not easy by any means as they required quick thinking and stuff.I did struggle with the 2nd one.

there weren't any questions like:

What is the best way to deliver to a house with a long dirt track drive?
a) leave bike/van at bottom of drive and walk up to house to avoid dirtying postal transport and possibly other mail.
b)ride/drive bike/van up drive SLOWLY as to not cause possible damage to the property.
c)other - please specify.

you reply, take 1 20 year old 1st gen up said drive ripping the sh1te out of everything on site while hanging postal bag out the window to gather that truly travelled (muddy) look!

[plumb bob]

What were the quick thinking questions then?

[MattF]

Anybody got a spade? Might as well give him a hand with this hole.

I did say to Tam that if I got the job and the houses/farms were far apart I would use the Runner and 'go as the crow flies'

Plumb Bob's got it right.
You have to be supremely dense to be employed in the post office. They struggle to read. If I had a £ for every letter that has a different road on it...............
These guys are 1 step up from a security guard, which they become after doing too much thinking at the post office.
