Postmen and postwomen sort letters and packages for delivery to homes and businesses. There are no set requirements, but your interview will include aptitude tests. These are to check that you can read addresses correctly and recognise misaddressed mail. You'll have to be physically fit, as delivery rounds walks can take 3 to 4 hours. You'll be carrying bags that can weigh up to 16kg. Another way to get into this job is through seasonal work which usually starts around September each year.

You'll usually need your own transport to get to and from work, as you may not be able to get public transport to suit your shift times.
