The Working At Asda Thread

Can anyone please tell me more about the different departments? Grocery and Chilled Products are pretty self-explanatory.. but Customer Services? There's an awful lot of vacancies at a store for Customer Services...

i work 4 topshop, any qustions ask me 2

i attended my asda magic interview last week and got a call back 2 days later asking me to come back for a one on one interview. I went for my one on one interview on tuesday and I felt it went really well. I was told I would be sent an email within 24 hours telling me if i had got the job but that I would also get an email even if I was unsuccessful. That was 2 days ago now and I have recieved no email. Was just wondering if anyone else had this problem? and what you think I should do about it? thanks for any help

Hello, I work for ASDA and have done so for a year, have worked on ALOT of departments and am trained on ALOT of different things (I'm a bit of an ASDA whore, but I need the money, so I like to do alot!)

If you have ANY questions about applying, the application or the interviewing process, even the working and the way to use a till (if your desperate to know :P ) just ask!

Whats it like working at Asda?




If they really wanted you, they would of made contact with you, no contact is usually bad.

Hey, i've been invited to a group interview at ASDA, what can I expect?

Thanks.

Will they take me on at 16?... as a saturday "part-time" job? what do i need to be able to work in there

Group interviews usually consist of some paperwork, introducing yourself and team building exercise (In my interview they made us make a house out of straws and marshmellows, the tasks vary depending on who's doing the interviews, but expect something similar.)

The key to these interviews is to just show that your confident, good working and talking with others, and can interact with people in a warm and friendly manner. There is no real need to go over the top and make others look bad as this will just make you look bad in turn. Just be yourself and be confident, you should be fine, and don't worry if you don't do well on the task, it doesn't really matter if you do it, it's just so they can see how you are with people

Thanks.

What shall I wear? Formal?

No no, formal casual will do, no need for a suit or anything like that. Dress like your going for a nice night out

I meant as in, trousers and a jumper?

Got my induction tomorrow, anyone know what happens? also what are the chances of being kept on a permanent contract?

Do you have a part time or seasonal contract? For what department?

Inductions you do a bunch of training and work, easy stuff.

Seasonal?

When you're seasonal you can pick up shifts whenever they are available and whenever you are able to work

Work lot's of shifts and prove yourself to your managers and they MAY offer you a part time contract, no promises though.

No ASDA staff (except managers) are full time.

Sweet, I will do my best to impress, also I'm down as a checkout operator, would it be possible to be trained as a sales assistant(stocking shelves and what not) so I could do that as well? Or am I limited to being on the checkouts?

Not my thread but i've worked at asda for 2.5 years so am qualified to explain...

Basically, everyone gets training at a shelf stacker during training,

Till training is just like half hour of the till machines trying to learn what all the buttons are...

And when you're working at the store there will normally be overtime on different departments so you can just do that and work on any department.

As long as you're 18 to do tills then you'll be able to do pretty much any other job.

Most of the work at asda is the same, it's just replen(shelf stacking) or rumbling(Getting rid of cardboard and pulling everything forward to pack it look neat)...
