The best place to look is the RM website as any vacancies are advertised on there, however, be aware that when i applied for my job, there were 128 applicants for it :doh:

All new jobs are now only part time (usually 22 hours), although there is a possibility to move to a higher contract later should a bigger job become vacant. I am also pretty sure that the pension scheme was altered after i joined and new recruits dont enjoy this benefit now. Still, like i have said previously, after the inital training period (6 months), the wage is £8.12 per hour, plus approx 5p per house per week for delivering an extra 3 pieces of unsolicited mail (compulsary). It is by far the best and easiest job ive ever had, and i have the biggest walk in our depot (1067 houses) and loads of stairs n shit.

I saw some trollop on the local news last nite who was part of a picket line in the west mids, and she was bleating on about the pay and conditions being a postie, and the one thing that really fucks me off is when a postie drones on about having to deliver in the rain and snow. If you are adverse to getting wet and cold, go and get a job sat on your fat arse in a nice office somewhere, dont get a job where you have to walk about outside you stupid fuck :wall:

and i have to say by the size of her, she didnt walk half as far or as fast as she probably should have either!! Ive been a postie for 15 months now, and there hasnt been a single day when i have considered it bad enuff to wear anything other than a shirt (on my top before you comment). If its cold, walk a bit faster and you warm up

We once had some in our lab who didn't like the sight of blood. Bit silly really as the job entails nothing but doing blood tests. :doh:

We once had a guy come in who wasn't into slagging off other bands. He lasted a day.
