Canada Post Careers and Employment

I find it very discouraging in the fact that there is very little job advancement opportunities in the smaller communities for rural route drivers.

The management at this job made me suicidal with aggressive and dishonest behavior and abusive attitudes. I tried to make complaints through the official channels and ended up being prevented from working for over 4 months while they string me along. When returning to work I received a review journaling all the abuse I had dealt with, but with me as the guilty party. I can't count the times that it made me sick how they treat people here. They don't pay you enough for the behaviour of your superiors, no matter how much they smile and pretend to be your friends.

The interview was very relax. **I applied for postal clerk** First the person talks about the job and what they expect from you. Some questions asked were: -Why would you want to work at post canada? -Are you bilingual? -Are you able to read and write well? -Do you have experience in a warehouse? -What are some safety measures to take while in a warehouse? -What would you do if the supervisor was in back of you telling you to go faster? -Give me a scenario where you took charge when the managers were not around -Do you own steel toe boots? -Are you able to lift 50lbs? -What are your availabilities * we talked for a bit but the questions are very easy. After the interview, I had to go get my fingerprints scaned and sign some papers Good luck! :)

The training pay is $19.86/hr

I just completed my training. 3 nights in class computer e learning in a windowless room at the back of a depot for 8 hours each night with a sarcastic trainer that obviously did not care about us, then a 'tour day' starting at 7:45a.m. of 8 hours riding along with a letter carrier that wasn't thrilled to have to take someone along on their route slowing them down, then 3 more nights of e learning..followed by 5 days of 'on the job' training where you are paired with a letter carrier who, if you are lucky, won't be angry at you for slowing them down while trying to learn what to do at depot and on the street. After working for 5 days,you are back at the classroom for 8 hours to do a 40 question exam and then the sortation test (sorting 120 letters into a sortation case)where you are allowed ONE mistake..or guess what? You are fired. People were fired. If you pass, you then have 8hours of Human Rights training followed the next day by 8 more hours of training with the union rep. We were supposed to then have 5 days of 'onboarding'..which is shifts out on the street delivering on your own..but guess what? It was taken away from us because it was deemed that we might be taking hours away from current employees. So now we are 'on call'..sitting at home every day waiting for a call to work. Have never worked with a company where everyone was so miserable and unwelcoming to new recruits. Definitely felt like everyone is out for themselves.

In my training class I had 5 retired people hired. Usually around September they seek casual on call people of all races and ages.

12 hours works me no problem.

The hours varied on the road too sometimes 3 hrs too 5 hours depending on how much mail you had too deliver

40 hours per week

For any interview, dress for 2 levels higher than the position you are applying for.
